6. Power supply
The hedge trimmer is designed for use only with single-phase alternating current from a 230V 50Hz AC supply. It is totally insulated, enabling it to be connected also to socket-outlets without an Earth conductor. Before you use the hedge trimmer for the first time, check that your mains voltage is the same as the operating voltage specified on the machineʼs rating plate.
7. Startup and operation
Caution! This hedge trimmer is designed to cut hed­ges, bushes and shrubs. Any other use which is not expressly permitted in these instructions may cause damage to the hedge trimmer and place the user at serious risk. Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-hand safety circuit. This means that it works only when the switch button on the guide handle (Figure 1 / Item 3) is pressed with the one hand while the switch on the handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is being pres­sed with the other hand. If you let go of either swit­ching element, the blades will stop moving.
The blades take time to slow down to a standstill. Please make allowance.
- Check that the blades are working properly. High cutting performance and smooth operation are guaranteed by the counter-rotating, dual-edge blades.
- Use only approved extension cables for outdoor use.

8. Practical tips
The hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
For the best performance, hold the hedge trim-
mer with its teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the hedge (see Figure 4).
Cutting in both directions is possible with the
counter-rotating dual-edge blades (see Figure 5).
To trim your hedge to a uniform height, run a
length of string along the hedge for guidance and cut off the projecting branches (see Figure 6).
Cut the sides of the hedge with sweeping move-
ments from the bottom up (see Figure 7).
9. Maintenance and cleaning
Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its
power plug before you put it down and clean it.
For the best cutting performance at all times,
clean and lubricate the blades at regular inter­vals. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a thin film of oil (see Figure 8).
Use bio-degradable oils.
Clean the plastic housing and parts with a mild
household detergent and a damp cloth. Never use aggressive agents or solvents.
Be particularly careful not to allow any water to
get inside the machine.
The supplied storage case can be fastened to the
wall. This is the best place to store your hedge trimmer.
10. Troubleshooting
The machine does not work: Check that the power cable is connected properly and check the mains fuses. If the machine will not work in spite of the vol­tage supply being OK, please send it to the specified after-sales service address.
11. Disposal
Important!
The hedge trimmer and its accessories are made of an assortment of materials, e.g. metal and plastics. Defective components must be disposed of as speci­al waste. Do not throw in the household refuse bin! Ask your dealer or local authority.

t For EU countries only
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices: As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components which are included with the used device.
