5. Before starting up
Before you connect the appliance to the mains supply
make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
Assembly of the steady grip
Push the steady grip (Fig. 3/Item 3) in the direction of
the arrow onto the motor housing (Fig. 3) and secure
(Fig. 4) on both sides with 2 screws (Fig. 4/Item 9).
6. Operation
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed
safety switch. The machine works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Fig. 5/Item A) is pressed
with one hand and the switch on the handle (Fig.
5/Item B) is pressed with the other hand.
Releasing any of the switches will bring the hedge
trimmer to a stop.
In so doing, please check the running of the
blades.
b Please check that the blades function correctly.
The blades cut on both sides and run in opposite
directions to each other, for guaranteed high
cutting performance and quiet operation.
b Fasten the extension cable to the cable holder
before starting to use the machine (see Fig. 5).
b For use in the open air you must only use
extension cables certified for the purpose.
Tips on use
b The hedge trimmer can be used not only for
trimming hedges but for trimming shrubs and
bushes as well.
b For optimum trimming performance, guide the
blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the
hedge (see Fig. 6).
b Since the blades cut on both sides and run in
opposite directions to each other, you can trim in
both directions (see Fig. 7).
b To achieve a hedge with a uniform height it is
recommended that you stretch a piece of string
along the edge of the hedge for guidance. Then
simply cut away all twigs projecting above the
line (see Fig. 8).
b The sides of the hedge should be trimmed with
arc-type movements from below upwards (see
Fig. 9).
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
