5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains 

supply make sure that the data on the rating plate 

are identical to the mains data.

Warning! 

Always pull the power plug before making 

adjustments to the equipment.

The plug on the power tool must 

fi

 t into the 

socket. The socket must not be modi

fi

 ed in 

any way. Do not use adapter plugs with pow-

er tools that have a grounded plug.

Unmodi

fi

 ed plugs and matching sockets will redu-

ce the risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces 

such as pipes, heating systems, stoves and 

refrigerators. 

There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is grounded.

If you use an electric power tool outdoors, 

use only extension cables that are suitable 

for outdoor use. 

The use of an extension cable 

which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk 

of electric shock.

If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a 

damp location, use a residual current device 

(RCD) circuit breaker.

The use of a residual current device (RCD) circuit 

breaker will reduce the risk of electric shock.

We recommend that you connect the hedge 

trimmer only to an electricity source protected by 

a residual current device (RCD) breaker with a 

maximum trip current of 30 mA.

Fitting the steady grip (Fig. 3a – 3c)

Remove the fastening screw (Fig. 3a/Item A) from 

the steady grip and swing open the fastening clip 

(Fig. 3b/Item B). Mount the steady grip on the 

motor unit (Fig. 3b/Item 11) as shown in Fig. 3b. 

Then rotate the mounting clip back to the closed 

position and secure with the fastening screw.

Mounting the extension pole and cutter bar 

(Fig. 4a – 4c)

Depending on the height you need to reach, you 

can use the hedge trimmer with or without the 

extension pole (Fig. 2/Item 9). To use it, loosen 

the fastening screw (Fig. 4a/Item C) on the motor 

unit. Remove the protective cap (Fig. 2/Item 14) 

from the extension pole and insert the extension 

pole into the clamp on the motor unit. When in-

serting the extension pole, ensure that the snap 

button latches in the hole in the clamp (Fig. 4b/

Item D). Then fasten the extension pole using the 

fastening screw. To mount the cutter bar, loosen 

the fastening screw (Fig. 4c/Item C). Remove the 

protective cap (Fig. 2/Item 14) from the cutter bar 

unit and insert the cutter bar unit into the clamp 

on the extension pole. Once again, ensure that 

the snap button latches in the hole in the clamp 

(Fig. 4b/Item D). Then fasten the cutter bar using 

the fastening screw.

Adjusting the tilt angle (Fig. 5a - 5c)

Important: Disconnect the power plug before you 

adjust the tilt angle. The cutting blade can be tilted 

to make the work as easy as possible.

Pull the safety lever towards the rear (Fig. 5a/Item 

12). Then grasp the adjustment lever (Fig. 5b/Item 

E). Actuate the locking lever (Fig. 5b/Item 13) and 

release it again when you have 

fi

 nished adjusting 

the tilt angle. Make sure that the lever latches in 

place correctly. Then push the safety lever to-

wards the front (Fig. 5c/Item 12).

Important:

 When you have 

fi

 nished, make sure 

that the safety lever and the locking lever are lat-

ched correctly.

Important: 

The gear unit can become hot during 

operation.

Fitting the shoulder strap

Important:

 Always use the shoulder strap when 

working with the hedge trimmer. Switch o

ff

  the 

equipment before you take o

ff

  the shoulder strap. 

There is a risk of injury.

1.  Hook the carabiner into the strap holder as 

shown in Fig. 6/Item G.

2.  Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.

3.  Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that 

the strap attachment is at waist level and you 

can work without fatigue.

Note:

The shoulder strap is equipped with a safety 

release (Fig. 6 / Item F) which you can use to 

quickly detach the shoulder strap from the hedge 

trimmer in case of danger. To operate the safety 

release, pull it downwards.
