eye and ear protection. En-
sure that the equipment is
functional before each use.
There is a risk of personal in-
jury and property damage!
The On/Off switch and the
safety switch must not be
held closed. They must switch
off the motor when on is
released. Should a switch

Switching On and Off
Remove the blade protection (
10) before switching the unit on.
Ensure that you are standing in a
firm position with both hands grip-
ping the hedge trimmer away from
the body.
Ensure that the trimmer is in contact
with no other objects before switch-
ing on.
In this way you avoid damage to
the appliance and possible injury
to people.
1. For tension relief of the cable,
form a loop of the end of the
extension cable and bring this
through the opening at the han-
dle and suspend in the tension
relief at the grip (7).
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
3. Hold the safety switch on the
loop handle (4) and push the
On/Off switch on the grip (6) at
the same time to switch the unit
on. The hedge trimmer will be
run at maximum speed.
4. Release one of the two switches
to switch the trimmer off.
Working with the Electric
Hedge Trimmer
During cutting work, ensure that no
contact is made with objects, e.g.
such as wire fencing or main plant
stems. This may result in damage to
the cutter bar.
• Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
• Always work away from the mains
power outlet. Set the cutting direction
before starting work. Ensure that the
power cable is kept well away from
the working area. Never lay the cable
over the hedge, where it could easily
be caught up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
Pull out the power plug im-
mediately if the cable is dam-
aged, badly twisted or has
been completely cut through.
