Cord retainer
When attaching an extension cord to the Hedge Trimmer,
hook the end of the extension cord into the cord retainer
(8) built into the rear of the Hedge Trimmer's housing
(Fig. 2). Using the retainer prevents accidental
disconnection of the trimmer and extension cords plug
and socket.
Always be sure to route the cord away from the work area
to prevent it from coming near the blade.
Decide how you want to route the cord before starting work. Start trimming at the
point nearest the electrical outlet, then move away while working.
The cable will then be pulled through the area which has already been cut and thus
reduce the danger of itself being cut.
WARNING!
If cordset is cut or damaged remove it immediately from the power
point. This product requires the use of two hands to ensure safe operation. Inspect
the area to be cut before starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be
thrown, jammed or become entangled in the blades.
Switching on
For your safety the Hedge Trimmer is designed with a
two handed safety switch. If only one switch is
squeezed, the tool will not operate.
This ensures both hands are on the tool body during
use. It prevents accidental start up and also keeps
both hands away from the blades during operation.
To turn the Hedge Trimmer ON, squeeze the safety
switch (7) and then the On/Off switch (2) (Fig. 3).
Switching off
To turn the Hedge Trimmer OFF, simply release either switch.
Blade brake
The Hedge Trimmer is fitted with a motor brake which will stop the cutting blade
within 1 second as soon as either switch is released.
Note:
When the unit is switched off and the motor brake operates there may be
some sparking (or flashing) occurring in the area of the upper motor ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage the machine.
