Never use the trimmer when it is raining. Try to prevent it from getting wet or being
exposed to humidity.
Do not leave it outside overnight. Do not cut damp or wet grass.
The power supply cable should be checked regularly. Before each use, make sure cable is
not damaged or worn. If the cable is not in good condition, do not use the trimmer. Take it
to an authorized service center for proper repair.
Only use an extension cord which is suitable for outdoor work. Keep it away from the
cutting area, damp, wet or oily surfaces, or sharp edges. Keep away from heat and fuels.
Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry plugged in hedge trimmer with fingers on both
switches. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp
the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the hedge
trimmer.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
Don’t force hedge trimmer, it will do the job better and with less likelihood of risk of injury
at the rate for which it was designed.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate hedge trimmer
when you are tired.
Maintain hedge trimmer with care, keep cutting blades sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect extension cord periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
7 OPERATION
7.1
Starting the machine
Switching on: Press the front handle (3) and the switch (2) of the rear handle with both
hands at the same time.
Switching off: release any one of the switch (3) or (2 ).
The electronic blade brake makes the blades stop immediately within < 1 sec. the small
flash in the area of the upper ventilation slots is normal and dose not harm to you or the
machine.
7.2
Cutting hedge
Before you start your work, select branches with a diameter not bigger than 18mm and cut
them with a pruning shear. A trapezoidal cut corresponds to the natural, growth of plants and
results in optimal hedge growing.
First cut the sides from the bottom to the top. Cut the upper part giving it the shape you
prefer, in a straight horizontal form, roof-like or rounded.
The safety blade has laterally rounded and staggered cutting teeth to reduce danger of
injury. The additional shock protection avoids inconvenient kickback when the blades
come into contact with walls, fences etc.
If the blades are jammed or blocked by obstacles, switch the motor off immediately, pull
the plug, and then remove the object jamming the blades.
Caution! Metal obstacles like fences etc. may damaged the cutting blades.
Always make sure to keep the extension cord behind your back and to start cutting the
hedge at the point nearest to the supply socked. Therefore plan your working direction
before staring.
