Adjusting the handle (Fig. 6)

Important: 

Disconnect the power plug before you 

adjust the handle.

Press the lock release (Fig. 6 / Item 15) to 

move the handle to the desired position (-90°/-

45°/0°/45°/90°).

Make sure that the lock release latches in place 

correctly!

6. Operation

Connect the hedge trimmer power cable to the 

plug (Fig. 7/Item B) and secure the power cable 

(Fig. 7/Item 5) with the strain-relief clip (Fig. 7/

Item 4).

On/O

ff

  switch

Important! 

To prevent accidental start-up, the 

hedge trimmer is equipped with a safety switch 

(Fig. 6/Item 8) which must be pressed before the 

ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 7) can be pressed. 

If the ON/OFF switch is released, the equipment 

switches o

ff

 . Repeat this process several times, 

so that you are sure that your equipment functions 

properly.

Please watch out for the cutters as they slow 

down to a standstill.

•

Please check that the cutters work properly. 

The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite 

directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting 

performance and smooth operation.

•

Before use, fasten the extension cable in the 

stress-relief clip (see Fig. 7).

•

When working outdoors, use extension 

cables that are approved for that purpose.

•

Ensure that you have a good footing. Firmly 

hold the hedge trimmer with both hands at 

a safe distance from your body. Before swit-

ching the hedge trimmer on, make sure that it 

is not touching anything.

Working with the hedge trimmer

•

An electric hedge trimmer can be used to cut 

shrubs and bushes as well as hedges.

•

The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite 

directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-

tions (see Figure 8).

•

It is recommended to tie a guide line of string 

along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to 

a level height. Cut off all branches which pro-

trude beyond the guide line (see Figure 9).

•

Cut the sides of the hedge using a sweeping 

motion from the bottom up (see Figure 10).

•

Be sure to comply with noise protection re-

gulations and local ordinances. Use of the 

hedge trimmer may be restricted or prohibited 

on certain days (e.g. Sundays and holidays), 

at certain times of the day (midday, nighttime) 

or in particular areas (e.g. health resorts, cli-

nics, etc.).

•

When you are cutting, ensure that you do not 

come into contact with any objects such as 

wire fences or plant supports. This may da-

mage the cutter bar.

•

Firmly hold the hedge trimmer in both hands, 

with one hand on the rear handle and the 

other hand on the front handle. Your fingers 

and thumbs should be wrapped around the 

handles.

•

If a solid object blocks the cutter, immediately 

switch off the hedge trimmer, disconnect the 

power plug and remove the object.

•

Always continue moving away from the power 

outlet as you work. Decide on the direction of 

cut before you start working.

•

Make sure that the extension cable stays out 

of the work area. Never route the cable over 

the hedge where it could easily by caught by 

the cutter blades.

•

Avoid subjecting the hedge trimmer to exces-

sive stress while you are working.

•

Cutting hedges in the shape of a trapezoid is 

recommended to prevent the lower branches 

from going bare. This corresponds to natural 

plant growth and allows your hedge to flou-

rish. If you only cut back the new seasonal 

shoots when you are trimming, you will have a 

dense hedge which provides good privacy.

Electric brake

For safety reasons, the equipment is supplied 

with an electric brake system that stops the 

cutting blades as quickly as possible after the 

equipment has been switched o

ff

 . The equipment 

may therefore emit an odor or generate sparks 

when it is switched o

ff

 .  This has no in

fl

 uence on 

the future operational performance or safety of 

the equipment.  Please avoid switching the equip-

ment on and o

ff

  more often than necessary.
