Initial operation/Notes on operation
The voltage of the supply source must correspond to that indicated on
the unit's data plate. Units for which 230 V is specified are suitable for
use with 220 V outlets.
Use only moisture-protected extension cords approved for outdoor use.
Do not use his power tool in the rain. Do not trim hedges when they are
wet.
Should the machine lock up, switch it off immediately and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before removing the object from the blade.
Connecting
Plug electrical cord into the unit and secure plug connection with strain-relief
racket 5.
Remove plug from electrical outlet immediately if the extension cord is
damaged.
Do not reuse a damaged extension cord.
Cable routing
Be sure to route the cord away from the work area to prevent it from coming near
the blade. Decide how you want to route the cord before starting work.
Start trimming at the point nearest the electrical outlet, and then move away while
working. The cable will then be pulled through the zone which has already been
cut, and thus remain out of danger.
Use bright-colored extension cords for reasons of visibility.
Switching ON/OFF
The slider switches make it possible to work
from various postures, thus providing for
more relaxed operation. The hedge trimmer
can be operated with ease by persons
wearing work gloves, and also poses no
problems for left-handed individuals.
Switching ON
Press down on the slider switches in the grip
them in the depressed position.
No provision is made for locking the switches into position for continuous
operation due to safety considerations.
Switching OFF
Release one or both slider switches.
The machine comes to a complete stop in approximately 0.5 seconds.
Safety blade rail with contact protection
Never touch the blade rail.
The lower blade teeth 6 are dull at the tip,
and 8 mm longer than the upper teeth. This
design reduces the risk of injury.
The guide rail 7 protrudes slightly at the tip.
This prevents unpleasant kickback upon
contact with hard objects, such as fence
posts or house walls.
