Safety instructions

Workplace safety

• Always keep your working area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or insufficiently lit working areas increase the risk of accident.
• Do not operate the device in explosive environments or near flammable substances, liquids, gases, or dusts. The use of this device may create sparks that could potentially ignite gases or dust.
• Keep bystanders away from the working area while operating the device, as distractions may lead to a loss of control.
• Always make sure to abide by local laws and regulations concerning the use of power tools.

Electric safety

• The power plug of the device must match the power socket and must not be altered in any way.
  Matching sockets and original plugs minimise the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools.

• Avoid physical contact with earthed objects and surfaces such as pipes, stoves, or refrigerators.
  An earthed body increases the risk of electric shock, when working with a power tool.

• Do not use the device if it cannot be turned on or off properly.

• Always turn the device off and remove it from its power source if it is not being used.

• Do not pull at the power cord of the device and do not abuse it to lift, carry, or hold the device.

• Do not expose the power cord to heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts and make sure it is not bent or pinched. Damaged or entangled cables greatly increase the risk of electric shock.

• Always check the cable for signs of damage or wear before using the device. Do not use the tool if its power cord or plug are damaged and make sure to have it replaced by a qualified electrician before the device is operated again. Damaged or worn cables must not be repaired and must instead be replaced by a qualified electrician.

• When using the device outside, make sure to use an appropriate extension cord suitable for outdoor use to decrease the risk of electric shock.

• The use of the device in wet environments (e.g., rain) is strictly prohibited. If the use of the device within an environment with high moisture levels cannot be avoided, make sure to equip it with a fault-current circuit breaker to decrease the risk of electric shock.

• Repairs and in-depth maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel and spare parts used must at least be of equal quality and authorised by the manufacturer to guarantee a proper and safe operation.

• Do under no circumstances attempt to modify the device, its accessories, or its power plug.
  Modified devices are dangerous and their use carries a great risk of accidents and electric shock.

Personal safety

• Always stay alert and do not use this device while being tired or exhausted or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
• Take all necessary precautions to prevent an accidental operation of the device. Do not push the trigger when carrying the device and make sure it has been turned off, before connecting it to a power supply. A loss of control can lead to property damage and severe injuries.
• Always wear appropriate protective gear including, but not limited to safety goggles, ear protection, safety gloves, and non-skid safety shoes when operating the device.
• Ensure that all adjusting tools or wrenches have been removed from the device before switching it on. Adjusting tools might get caught up in moving parts and cause damage to the device as well as severe injuries.
• Do not overreach and always ensure a safe stand.
• Always make sure to treat power tools with care, to keep them clean, sharp, and in pristine condition by performing maintenance on a regular basis to ensure a proper functionality. Sharp and clean tools are easier and safer to handle while poorly maintained tools increase the risk of accidents.
• Make sure that moving parts can move without any kind of obstruction before starting the device.
• Only use tools for their intended purpose and always operate them at a speed appropriate for them. Forcing a tool decreases its efficiency and increases the risk of accidents.
• Always store the device in a dry and safe place inaccessible to children and unauthorised individuals.

Special safety information concerning brush cutters

• Ensure to check the integrity of the device before every use. Damaged or worn power tools must not be operated as their condition greatly affects their performance and safety. Have damaged parts repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician and do not use the device unless it is in pristine condition.
• Do not leave this device unattended.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blades. Do under no circumstances attempt to remove cuttings from the blade or hold material that is to be cut while the device is running. Cuttings should only be removed after the device has been turned off and if it is ensured that it cannot be started by accident.
• Only use this device for its intended purpose and always operate it at a speed appropriate for it. Do not use this device to mow lawns or shred organic components for composting.
• Only carry the device by its handle and only while its blades are not moving. If storing or transporting the device, make sure to secure the blades with the appropriate protective cover.
• Only use the insulated gripping surfaces to hold and operate the device, since its blades and metallic parts might make contact with hidden current sources or its own power cord. Making contact with a live power source involves the risk of electric shock.
• Always make sure to keep cables away from the blades of the device. Keep track of the power cord of the device as well as nearby cables to avoid cutting them by accident.

Safety of maintenance

• Repair and in-depth maintenance work always must be performed by qualified personnel to ensure a proper and secure operation.
• Before cleaning the device or performing repair and maintenance work, always make sure to turn the device off and to disconnect it from its power supply.
• Allow the device to cool down before beginning any kind of cleaning, repair, or maintenance work to minimise the risk of injury.
• Only use wet and clean pieces of cloth or a brush to avoid damaging the device while cleaning it. Do not use solvents, detergents, or other chemical substances to clean the device.
• Air inlets and outlets should always be kept clean to ensure that air flow us unobstructed.
• Make sure to clean the device and its blades after every single use.
• Regularly lubricate the blades of the device.

Safety of storage

• Always store the device in a secure and dry environment inaccessible to children.
• Make sure to secure the blades of the device with the protective cover before storing the device.
• Clean the device before storing it for longer periods of time and also clean it after it has been stored for longer periods of time.

Main components

Scope of delivery

Please check the content of the package upon arrival to ensure that the following items are included and in pristine condition. Please contact us in case of missing or damaged contents:

• Electrical hedge trimmer
• Protective blade cover
• Hand guard
• Operation manual

Use

1. First place the hand guard (3) in the designated grooves located below the front handle (4) and safely attach it with help of the fastening screw (8).
   Attention: The device must not be used without the hand guard (3) being safely attached.

2. Connect the device to a suitable wall outlet or extension cord.

3. Simultaneously press the front handle trigger (4) and rear handle trigger (5) to start the device.

4. To stop the movement of the blades, simply release one of the two triggers (4 or 5).

Use notes

• Before the trimming of the hedge can begin, ensure to cut all branches exceeding a diameter of 16 mm with hedge shears.
• It is recommended to work on hedges in a trapezoidal manner as this cutting technique complies with the natural growth of the hedge and prevents the lower branches from being thinned out too much.
• It is further recommended to begin by cutting the edges of the hedge. Thereby move the device from the bottom to the top before tending to the upper part of the hedge and shaping.
• Immediately turn the device off if its blades should jam or be obstructed by clippings. Disconnect the device from its power source before checking the condition of the blades and potentially removing stuck clippings.
• Ensure that the blades of the device do not come into contact with metal as they might otherwise be damaged in the process.
• Further make sure to always be aware of the location of the power cord of the device and safely keep it behind you. It is recommended to plan work in a manner that leads away from the power outlet. Use the cable holder of the device to ensure a secure placement of the power cord.
