purpose of this mechanism is that especially for cutting
in vertical direction the hedge shears can be held in their
ergonomically most favourable position whereby an early
fatigue of the user is avoided.
Please proceed as follows to change the position of the
handle:
Release switch (A). Press the locking pin (C). The handle
is now unlocked and can be turned to the desired posi -
tion. In the desired end position, the pin locks back into
place and securing the handle and avoiding an accidental
change of the position.
Please bear in mind that the locking pin (C) can only be
pulled back when the switch (A) is not activated (held
down). Make sure that the locking pin locks into place
again after repositioning the turning handle. Only then the
switch can be activated anew.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the plug from the power socket
before commencing any work on the machine.
Important: Always clean and oil the blades after pro-
longed use of the hedge trimmer. This will greatly affect
the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units must be
properly repaired immediately. Clean the shearing blades
with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt – with a brush.
Attention: Danger of injury! Oiling of the blades should
ideally be carried out using an environmentally friendly
lubricant (Fig. 9).
Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do not
require resharpening if used correctly.
Changing the blades
Only correct installation of the blades will guarantee
problem-free operation and function of the above men-
tioned safety feature of the blades. Changing of the
blades should therefore only be carried out at a specialist
workshop.
Holding the hedge trimmer when in use
(Fig. 6+7)
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and
hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges
- Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.
- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a sawing
movement.
- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer,
should be cut with a saw.
- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
In order to achieve an even height
- Fix a guide line at the required height.
- Cut evenly over this guide line.
Take care to have a secure and safe standing position
when working with your hedge shears in order to avoid
slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing blades
away from your body.
Optimum safety
The 5 special features two-hand safety switch, quick
blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail and impact
protector are fitted to provide the hedge trimmer with
optimum safety features.
Attention!
If you find out that safety functions, such as
the 2-switch mechanism or the safety stop, are
not functioning while working with the hedge
shears, immediately cease working and take
the machine to a specialised shop for repairing.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 4)
To switch the hedge shears on the bar switch in the
handle (A) and the grip switch of the bow-type handle (B)
must be pushed down. To switch the device off let go of
both switches. The motor already stops if one of the two
switches is released.
Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will
stop in max. 0.5 sec. when one of the two switches is
released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 8)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc -
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact.
Impact protector (Fig. 1)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
Gear protection feature
If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object and
continue with the work.
The equipment is also fitted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.
Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note:
The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use.(see also Section Maintenance ). This will
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environment , e.
g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case with
the cutting blades first.
Repair service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried out
by specialist electrical personnel.
