IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMERS, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
- Replacement Parts - When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
- Polarized Appliance Connections - To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of
a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into
a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
- Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use hedge
trimmers in damp or wet locations.
- Don’t Use In Rain.
- Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept at a
distance from work area.
Table 1 MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS
- Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and substantial footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
- Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
- Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended.
- WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only
with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
- Extension Cords - Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
Ampere Rating Voltage Total Length of Cord in Feet

To reduce the risk of disconnection of hedge
trimmer cord from the extension cord during
operating:
2
1
A
- Hook the extension cord (A/1) in the strain reliever (A/2).
- Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer
It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk
of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
- Don’t Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate hedge trimmer when you are tired.
- Disconnect Hedge Trimmer
Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the
power supply when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories
such as blades and the like.
- Store Idle Hedge Trimmers Indoors
When not in use, hedge trimmer should be stored indoors
in dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.
- Maintain Hedge Trimmer With Care
Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect hedge
trimmer cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility.
3
B
- Connect the mains plug (B/3) with the extension power
cord.
- Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry plugged-in
hedge trimmer with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
- Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry hedge trimmer by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
- DANGER: RISK OF CUT!
If the power cord is damaged,
disconnect the mains plug.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
- Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service centre unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
- First Aid
For the event of a possible accident, please
make sure that a first aid kit is always
immediately available close by. Immediately replace any items used from the first
aid box.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADES!
Keep both hands on handles when power is on. Do not
attempt to remove cut material nor hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure trimmer is switched off
and unplugged when clearing jammed material from blades.
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges of
trimmer.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

When calling for help, give the following information:
- Place of the accident
- What happened
- Number of injured
- Kind of injuries
- Your name!
NOTE Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to
excessive vibration may experience injury to blood vessels
or the nervous system.
Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the
fingers, hands or wrists: ”Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling,
pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin colour or of the skin.
If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

E
Hold the trimmer with both hands and move it in front of your
body (see fig. E).
When operating the trimmer, keep extension cord behind trimmer. Never drape it over hedge being trimmed.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or other
hard objects while trimming. The blade will break and may
cause serious injury.
• Do not attempt to trim too much at a time, or malfunction of
the tool may result.
D
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 16 mm (0.6”)
diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with
shears (fig. D) down to the hedge trimmer level.
F
• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a
ladder, is extremely dangerous. Don’t work from anything
wobbly or infirm (see fig. F).

Tips on trimming hedges
The procedure described here can be used very often and
makes working easier. If a hedge has to be cut back very
substantially, it should be trimmed in two passes.
- First cut the hedge to the desired height (fig. G). With
practice, it is possible to remove cut material from the
hedge with a swinging motion. To get a straight cut,
stretch a string along the hedge at the desired height.
- Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape (about 10 cm / 4"
in at the top for every 1 m / 3’3" of height), cutting from
bottom to top (H). In this way you avoid cut material falling
down into the area not yet cut.
- Round off the top edges of the hedge (I), and finally trim
the bottom edges back somewhat (J).

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before attempting to perform inspection and
maintenance. Always wear protective gloves!
STOP
K
Blade maintenance
After operation, clean off the blade (both sides) with a stiff
brush (fig. K). Then wipe the blades with a cloth and coat
them with light machine oil.
6
The tool will stop when the carbon brushes wear to a certain
length. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be
replaced.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
DOLMAR Authorized or Factory Service Centres, always
using DOLMAR replacement parts.
