•
Secure the extension cable as shown in Fig. 9
to protect it against pulling forces and acci-
dental disconnection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a profes-
sionally installed safety mains socket with
ground contact. We recommend using a cable
with a bright and highly visible color (red or
yellow). This will reduce the risk of acciden-
tally damaging it with the hedge trimmer.
Switching On/Off
Switching on (Fig. 9)
•
Hold the equipment firmly by the handle and
grip surface with both hands
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Item 3).
•
Switch on the equipment with the On/Off
switch (Item 2). You can then release the sa-
fety lock-off.
Switching off
Let go of the On/Off switch (Fig. 9/Item 2).

7. Working with the equipment

•
Before you start work, inspect the electric
pole hedge trimmer for damage. Never use
equipment which is obviously damaged.
•
Check that the blades work properly. With
their twin cutting edges, the blades rotate in
opposite directions, thus guaranteeing a high
cutting performance and smooth operation.
•
Take care to maintain a steady foothold and
hold the tool firmly in both hands away from
your body. Before you switch on, make sure
that the equipment is not touching any ob-
jects.
Work practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Figure 10).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Figure 11).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line along
the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level
height. Cut off the branches which protrude
beyond the guide line (see Fig. 12/13).

•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figu-
re 14).
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep the handles free of oil so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or
other liquids in order to clean it.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the sa-
fety guards.
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
8.3 Maintenance
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at
regular intervals in order to ensure best perfor-
mance at all times. Remove deposits with a brush
and apply a thin fi lm of oil (Figure 15).
