5. POWER SUPPLY
Before starting the motor, make certain the power
socket incorporates a residual current device with a
tripping current not greater than 30 mA.
The hedge trimmer is designed for use only with
single-phase alternating current from a 230 V~ – 50
Hz AC supply. It is totally insulated, enabling it to be
connected also to socket-outlets without a PE con-
ductor. Before you use the hedge trimmer for the
first time, check that your mains voltage is the same
as the operating voltage specified on the machine's
rating plate.
6. START UP AND OPERATION
Assembly of the protection shield (Fig. 3)
Slide the included protection shield (2, Fig. 1)
over the blade rail and fix it from both sides at the
housing using 1 screw on each side as shown in
Fig. 3.
CAUTION! - This hedge trimmer is designed to cut
hed ges, bushes and shrubs. Any other use which is
not expressly permitted in these instructions may
cause damage to the hedge trimmer and place the
user at serious risk. Your hedge trimmer is equipped
with a two-hand safety circuit (Fig. 4). This means
that it works only when the switch button on the
guide handle (B) is pressed with the one hand while
the switch on the handle (A) is being pres sed with
the other hand. If you let go of either swit ching
element, the blades will stop moving.
The blades take time to slow down to a standstill.
Please make allowance.
- Since the machine is equipped with an electric
brake which locks the blade, a harmless flash of
light may be seen in the top part of the machine
when the switch is released.
- Check that the blades are working properly. High
cutting performance and smooth operation are
guaranteed by the counter-rotating, dual-edge

7. PRACTICAL TIPS

• HANDLE (Fig.6) - To reduce fatigue when
trimming hedges, the handle can be swivelled
through 45° or 90° to the left or right.
Proceed as follows: free the handle by pressing
the locking lever (C). Please bear in mind that the
locking pin (C) can only be pulled back when the
switch (A) is not activated (held down). Make sure
that the locking pin locks into place again after
repositioning the turning handle. Only then the
switch can be activated anew.
• The hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and
bushes as well as hedges.
• For the best performance, hold the hedge trim mer
with its teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the
hedge (see Fig.7).
• Cutting in both directions is possible with the
dual-edge blades.
• To trim your hedge to a uniform height, run a
length of string along the hedge for guidance and
cut off the projecting branches.
• Cut the sides of the hedge with sweeping
move ments from the bottom up (see Fig.8).
