Using your power hedge trimmer

.2  Correct operation of your power hedge 

trimmer 

Observe all safety regulations when using this 
power tool. 

Connection to the mains supply 

Connect the appropriate extension cable to the 
cable strain relief (5) and connect the mains plug 
(6) to the extension cable. 

To isolate the equipment, always pull the mains 
plug from its socket, i.e. never pull on the cable to 
remove the plug. 

Switching the hedge trimmer on/off  

The hedge trimmer is only approved for two-
handed operation. For safety reasons it can only 
be switched on when one hand operates the main 
switch (3) at the same time as the other hand 
operates either the safety switch or auxiliary 
switch. 
To switch off the device, release either of these 
two switches.  

Standard stance:

The rear hand operates the mains switch (3) on 
the rear handle; the front hand operates the 
safety/auxiliary switch B on the handlebar (7). 

Alternative stance to increase the range:

The hedge trimmer is held with both hands on the 
rear handle. One hand operates the main switch on 
the top part of the handle, while the other hand 
operates the safety switch/auxiliary switch (4) on 
the bottom part of the handle. 

Ergonomic handle position 

To move the rear handle to the optimum ergonomic 
position, when the motor is switched off, push the 
ratchet lever (2) upwards to release it and then turn 
the rear handle until it’s in the desired position. The 
rear handle locks into five different positions. 
Before restarting, ensure that the handle is safely 
locked in position.  

Note: If the handle is not correctly locked, the 
hedge trimmer will not start.

In every position the handle is angled 
approximately 15° towards the cutting axis. This 
ensures that the device can be used directly on the 
hedge and can still be held at a short distance from 
the hedge.
