Technical data

Sound and vibration

Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 60745.

Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.
Vibration emission values (vector sum of three directions) are determined in accordance with EN 60745. Vibration emission value ah = 3,412 m/s² Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
Warning!
The specified vibration emission value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.
The specified vibration emission value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specified vibration emission value can be used for the initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Reduce noise generation and vibration to a minimum!

• Use only equipment that is in perfect condition.
• Maintain and clean the equipment regularly.
• Adopt your way of working with the equipment.
• Do not overload the equipment.
• Has the equipment been checked if necessary?
• Switch off the equipment when not in use.
• Wear gloves.

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in In accordance to instructions, certain residual risks cannot be eliminated. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is applied.
2. Health damage is caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a longer period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

• Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the supply voltage.
• Always pull out the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Electric brake
For safety reasons, the equipment is supplied with an electric brake system that stops the cutting blades as quickly as possible after the equipment has been switched off. The equipment may therefore emit an odor or generate sparks when it is switched off. This has no influence on the future operational performance or safety of the equipment. Please avoid switching the equipment on and off more often than necessary.

Operation

The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed safety switch. The equipment works only when the switch on the steady grip (Figure 2 / Item A) is pressed with one hand and the switch on the handle (Figure 2 / Item B) 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.

• Please check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting performance and smooth operation.

• Before use, fasten the extension cable in the stress-relief clip (see Fig. 2). n When working outdoors, use extension cables that are approved for the purpose.
  Notes on working 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 3).

• The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions (see Figure 4).

• It is recommended to tie a guideline 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 guideline (see Figure 5).

• Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped movements from the bottom up (see Figure 6).

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its aftersales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
