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.
• Always hold the equipment firmly in
both hands, with one hand on the rear
handle and the other on the front han-
dle. Thumbs and fingers must be firmly
around the handles.
• Switch off the equipment immediately
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 be-
fore starting work. Ensure that the power
cable is kept well away from the work-
ing 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.
Swivelling the Arm
Caution!
The gear box ( A 2) becomes
hot during operation. There is
a risk of burns. Do not touch
the gearbox housing ( A 2) or
the connection to the front arm
( A 7).
