Gloves
Protective gloves must be worn when using the hedge trimmer.
Securing the extension lead (Fig. B1)
Only use extension leads suitable for outside use. The cross section of
the wire (max. length of extension cord: 75m must be at least 1,5 mm
Secure the equipment flex to the extension lead by means of a loop. Ex-
tension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the performance of the machi-
ne.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig. B2)
To switch on and to run the hedge trimmer you need both hands: The
switching bar in the rear handle as well as the switch in the front
handle must be depressed (A, B). If one of the switches is released,
the shearing blades will stop after ca. 0.5 seconds.
Holding the hedge trimmer when in use (Fig. B3, B4)
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and hedges easily
and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges
z Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.
z Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a sawing movement.
z Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer, should be cut
with a saw.
z Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
In order to achieve an even height
z Fix a guide line at the required height.

Optimum safety
The 5 special features:
two-hand safety switch, quick blade stop, protective cover, blade safety
rail and impact protector are fitted to provide the hedge trimmer with op-
timum safety features.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig. B2)
Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will stop in max. 0.5
sec. HS 40 E.
Blade safety rail (Fig. B5)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduces the risk of in-
juries due to unintentional body contact. As soon as the hedge trimmer is
switched off, the sharp cutting blades will stop immediately.
Impact protector (Fig. B5, A)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks (blade recoil)
being transmitted to the operator due to impact with solid objects (wall,
ground etc.).
Gear protection feature
If solid objects are caught in the cutting blade and jam the motor, switch
off the machine at once, disconnect the power plug from the power so-
cket, remove the object and continue with the work. The equipment is
also fitted with an overload cutout, which protects the gears against me-
chanical damage in the event of blade jams.
