Always keep the extension cord behind the Pole Trimmer
when in use. Do not drape the cord over the hedge where
it may be cut by the blades. Use smooth steady sweeping
motions to trim new growth. Do not try to cut too much at
one time. This can cause the Pole Trimmer to slow down
or get jammed, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the Pole Trimmer through dense growth. A
slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting
of larger, more dense growth. If the Pole Trimmer begins
to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you
are trying to cut. If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed,
immediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Disconnect Pole
Trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 18mm in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward
sweeping motion. Trim the hedges so that the top is
slightly narrower than the bottom.
Safety instructions for mains cord damage
Risk of electric shock and injury!
If the mains cable is damaged or cut by the hedge
trimmer, this can lead to a short circuit, with
possibly a loud band and sparks.
- Do not touch the extension cord or the hedge shears!
Set the hedge trimmer down and immediately remove
the plug from the mains socket.
- Never repair or patch a damaged extension cord. Instead,
replace it or have it repaired by a qualified technician.
1. Stay calm. Hold onto the hedge trimmer securely and
let go of the on/off trigger 8.
2. Wait until the hedge shears stop moving.
3. Only then should you assess the damage.
Cleaning
Risk of electric shock and injury!
Improper handling or negligent use may result
in serious injury.
- Before cleaning or servicing the hedge trimmer,
always turn it off and unplug it from the mains
in order to prevent electric shock or accidental
starting of the motor.
- Always use protective gloves when cleaning or
inspecting the hedge shears.
Risk of short circuit!
Water that has penetrated the housing may
cause a short circuit.
- Never spray the hedge trimmer with a water jet or
pressureMaintenance 23washer. If water gets into
the engine, it can cause serious damage.
- Do not use solvents or any aggressive cleaners
or detergents. They could damage the surfaces.
The hedge trimmer must be thoroughly cleaned immedi-
ately after each use and all parts must be allowed to dry
completely. Otherwise, moist plant residue can harden or
start to mold and can be difficult to remove.
- Keep all protective devices, air slots, and engine
housing as dust and dirt free as possible.
- Remove all plant residue with a brush.
- Clean all smooth surfaces with a damp cloth.
- When the hedge trimmer has been cleaned, put a light
film of oil on the cutting blades of the hedge shears
and let the hedge trimmer run briefly, allowing the oil
to spread.
Maintenance
There are no serviceable parts on the inside of the
hedge trimmer.
- Regularly inspect the hedge trimmer and make sure
that all screw connections are tight.
- Damaged or worn cutting blades must not be used
and need to be replaced using original parts by the
manufacturer or a qualified technician.
- Have all safety-relevant work, such as the replace-
ment of defective components or the sharpening or
replacement of the cutting blades done by the manu-
facturer or a qualified technician.
Storage
All parts must be completely dry before being stored.
- Thoroughly clean the hedge trimmer before storage,
as described in the chapter "Cleaning."
- Put the blade guard (2) over the hedge shear blades.
- If you disassemble the rods, put the protective caps
back on the ends of the trimmer rod (19) and extension
rod (15) .
- Always store the hedge trimmer in a dry area.
- Protect the hedge trimmer from direct sunlight.
- Store the hedge trimmer so that it is not accessible to
children, securely locked away, and at a storage tem-
perature between 5 °C and 20 °C (room temperature).
