Operation - TOOLCRAFT 2498121 Mode D'emploi Original

8. Operation

Always observe the safety information at the beginning of these operating instructions.
Before use, check the hedge trimmer for loose connection screws, firmly fixed adjustment devices and an
intact blade.
Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on the handle (4) and on the bow handle with the safety
switch (3).
Caution - the blade (1) continues to run for a short time after the trimmer has been switched off.
• Remove the blade guard from the blade (1).
• Press the safety switch on the bow handle (3) and switch on the hedge trimmer with the on/off switch (5).
• Allow the hedge trimmer to get up to speed before starting your work and do not apply a load to the trimmer as
soon as it is switched on.
• Do not overload the hedge trimmer by cutting branches that are too big or by cutting too many branches at the same
time. This also protects the tool and prevents an overload.
• Move the hedge trimmer evenly in arching movements in front of your body over the area to be cut.
• Hold the hedge trimmer so that the blade is at an angle of approx. 15° to the cutting surface.
• The hedge trimmer cuts on both sides, which provides a high cutting power.
• For a straight and uniform cut, it is advisable to use a guide. This enables, for example, the height of the hedge to
be marked.
• To switch off the hedge trimmer after operation or in the event of danger, simply release the on/off switch (5) or the
safety switch on the bow handle (3).
• Replace the blade guard after operation to prevent injuries caused by the blade.
