5. Before starting the equipment
The equipment is supplied without batteries
and without a charger.
Fitting the steady grip
Attach the steady grip (Fig. 2/Item 3) in the
direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 4.
Make sure that the electrical contacts are
connected correctly.
Then tighten the screws (Fig. 5/Item 5).
Fitting the cuttings collector (Figure 7-9).
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you
install the cuttings collector. This enables you
to remove the cuttings easily. The surface of the
hedge thus remains clear (Fig. 7/8). Position the
cuttings collector (6) on the cutter rail (Fig. 9).
Then push the cuttings collector towards the
handle to clamp it securely under the retaining pin
(Fig. 9/Item 9).
Swivel handle
The hedge trimmer is
fi
tted with a rear swiveling
handle. It can be swiveled 90° to the left and
right. To do so, pull the slide (Fig. 17/Item 11) in
the direction indicated by the arrow and turn the
handle. To return the handle to its original position
you must pull the slide (Fig. 17/Item 11) in the
direction indicated by the arrow again. The handle
should be turned through 90° for vertical cuts.
Note:
The lock cannot be pulled back if the On/
O
ff
switch (Fig. 1/Item 4) is pressed.
WARNING!
Never attempt to move the handle to
a position in between.
Installing the battery (Fig. 6)
Press the pushlock button (Fig. 6/Item 12) of the
rechargeable battery as shown in Fig. 6 and push
the battery into the battery mount provided. Make
sure that the pushlock button engages properly.
To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse
order.
6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. It works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Fig. 1/Item 3) is
pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Fig. 1/Item 4) is pressed with the other
hand. If either switch is released, the cutters will
stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters as
they slow down to a standstill.
Work practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Figure 11).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both
directions (see Figure 12).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 13).
Warning!
Be particularly attentive when
cutting along the guide line. Do not cut
through the guide line. This could get
