ed. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which can

be caught in moving parts.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the hedge trim-

mer is to be used and remove all wires and other

foreign objects.

Prior to operation, check cutter blades, blade bolts

and cutter assembly for wear or damage. Do not

replace if necessary. Keep cable away from heat, oil

and sharp edges.

locked up place out of the reach of children.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

qualified to do so.

To safeguard against contact with the moving cut-

ter blade, this hedge trimmer is constructed with

two handles each with a blade control (switch). To

operate the hedge cutter, both controls must be

actuated simultaneously. Do not use the tool, if it

runs without a switch being actuated or just one

switch being actuated.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains

before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut,

damaged or entangled.

The blades continue to move for a few sec-

onds after the hedgecutter is switched off.

Caution! Do not touch the moving blades.

Your machine is double insulated for safety and re-

quires no earth connection. The operating voltage is

230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V

as applicable). Only use approved extension cables.

Extension cords should only be used if they comply

with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to

use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping

current of not more than 30mA. Always check your

RCD every time you use it. Refer to the instruction

manual of the extension cord, lead, reel manufactur-

er and your local wiring regulations.

WARNING: For your safety, it is required that the

plug attached to the product is connected with the

extension cord. The coupling of the extension cord

must be protected against splash water, be made of

rubber or coated with rubber. The extension cord

must be used with a cable strain relief. The connec-

tion lead must be inspected for signs of damage at

regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect

condition.

MAINTENANCE

Always wear gardening gloves when handling or

working near the sharp blades.

Examine the machine and replace worn or damaged

parts for safety.

Always lubricate the cutting blade with protective

spray before storage.

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that

the machine is in safe working condition.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.
