Specified Use

• These hedge trimmers are suitable for cutting hedges and bushes.
• The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by improper use.
• Generally accepted accident prevention regula-tions and the enclosed safety information must be observed.

General Safety Instructions

• For your protection and the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!
• WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-tions will reduce the risk of injury.
• WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.
• Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents.

Special Safety Instructions

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During operation, the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments, conversions or servicing are performed.
• The electrical system to which the hedge trimmer is connected should be equipped with a differential current safety switch (with a max. of 30 mA release current).
  • Remove the plug from the mains immediately if the cable is damaged or severed.
  • Never use it in the rain or on wet hedges.
  • Metabo S-automatic safety clutch. When the safety clutch responds, switch off the machine immediately.
• Persons under the age of 16 must not use the hedge trimmer.
• Never use an incomplete machine or one on which an unauthorised modification has been made.
• Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard devices are missing or defective.
• The machine is provided with a “Quick stop” function. Have the machine repaired if the braking time is lengthened.
• Wear ear protectors. Noise exposure can cause loss of hearing.
• The danger of injury from the sharp edges of the blades. Never touch the blades. Wear protective gloves.
• Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and suitable shoes when working with the hedge trimmer.
• Always hold the machine with both hands and stand firmly on the ground. Pay attention to obstacles in the working area – the danger of tripping. Keep the cutting blade well away from the body.
• Plugs and couplings of extension cables must be splash-proof.
• Only use extension cables that are also approved for outdoors.
• Before starting work, check the mains connection cable and extension cable for damage. Only use mains connection cables and extension cables in perfect condition.
• Position the extension cable such that it cannot be caught by the cutting blades (e.g. sling over your shoulder).
• Examine the area to be cut and remove wire or other foreign bodies.
• If the cutting blades come to a standstill due to a particularly hard branch or foreign body (wire in a hedge) and the stoppage cannot be corrected by pulling the hedge trimmer back, the motor must first be switched off and the plug removed from the socket before the cause of the blockage can be removed manually from the cutting blade.
• For other activities (e.g. removing twigs or cuttings), deposit the machine outside the working area.
• Lay the machine down such that persons are not at risk.
• When you have laid the hedge trimmer down, pull the plug from the socket.
• For storage and transportation, always slide the enclosure onto the cutting blades. (It has been slid on correctly if the Metabo lettering faces upwards).
• Only carry the machine by the bow-type handle.

Commissioning

• Before plugging in, check to see that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the rating label, match your power supply.
• To prevent the hedge trimmer plug from inadvertently being pulled out of the coupling socket of the extension cable, attach the extension cable to the cable strain relief device as shown (9).
• Note: the cable tension device is designed to hold approved extension cables (H07 RN-F 3G1,5 / 3G1,0) that are used most frequently for external applications.
• For other approved extension cables that are also used outside, we recommend using the cable tension strap, order no. 6.31070.

Check Quick stop:
Switch the machine on briefly and then off again. Have the machine repaired if the braking time is lengthened.

Use

Switching On and Off
Switching on (safety two-hand operation):

• For normal applications: Press switch (2) and switch (3).
• For a wider range: Press switch (1) and switch (2).

To switch off:

• Release one of the two actuated switches.
• Thanks to the patented Quick stop, the cutting blades come to a standstill within 0.05 seconds.
  • Have the machine repaired if the braking time is lengthened.

The noise that sometimes occurs during a machine’s Quick stop is design- related and does not influence operation and service life.

Cleaning the cutting blade (after every use)

Before cleaning:

• Switch the machine off.
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Wear protective gloves.

Remove contamination, remains of blades etc. (e.g. with a brush or cloth)

After cleaning:
Treat the cutting blade with Metabo hedge trimmer care oil 6.30474 or Pump Spray 6.30475 (biologically degradable).

Maintenance

It is advisable to have blunt-cutting blades sharpened in a specialist workshop. Check cutting blades regularly for damage and have them repaired in a specialist workshop immediately if necessary.

Technical Specifications

Explanatory notes on the specifications on page 3. Changes due to technological progress reserved.
dia. max.=Maximum cutting thickness

• L = Useful blade length
• n0 =Number of cuts at idling speed
• P1 =Nominal power input
• m =Weight without mains cable

Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions) determined by EN 60745:

• ah =Vibration emission value (idle speed)
• Kh =Uncertainty (vibration)

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured by a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories,keepingp the hands warm, and organisation of work patterns.

Typical A-effective perceived sound levels:

• LpA =Sound pressure level
• LWA =Acoustic power level
• KpA, KWA= Uncertainty
• LWA(G) =Guaranteed acoustic power level as per 2000/14/EC

Wear ear protectors!
Measured values determined in conformity with EN 60745.

• Machine in Protection Class II
• ~ Alternating current
