Before you operate this hedge trimmer, thoroughly
read through the following safety regulations as well
as the operating instructions.
If you give the equipment to any other persons, give
them the operating instructions as well.

Keep these instructions in a safe place.

Packaging

Your tool is packaged to protect it from damage in
transit.
Packaging is raw material and can therefore be
reused or returned to the raw material system.

1. General safety information

Caution! When using electric tools it is imperati­ve to take the following basic safety precautions
in order to reduce the risk of electric shock,
injury and fire. Read and take note of these
instructions before you use this tool.

1. Keep your work area tidy

- An untidy work area invites accidents.

2. Check the working conditions

- Do not expose electric tools to rain. Never use
electric tools in damp or wet locations. Make sure
there is good lighting. Do not use electric tools
near flammable liquids or gases.

3. Guard against electric shock

- Avoid body contact with earthed components
such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators.

4. Keep children away!

- Do not allow other persons to touch the tool or
cable. Keep all persons out of your work area.

5. Store tools in a safe place

- When tools are not in use they should be stored
in a dry, locked room out of children’s reach.

6. Do not overload your tools

- Tools work better and safer when used within
their quoted capacity range.

7. Use the right tool

- Never use tools or attachments with insufficient
power for the job in hand. Never use tools on
jobs for which they were not intended.

8. Wear suitable work clothes

- Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they
may get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves
and non-slip shoes are recommended when wor­king outdoors. Wear a hair net if you have long
hair.

9. Wear safety goggles

- and use a dust mask when working on dusty
jobs.

10. Do not mis-use the cable

- Do not carry the tool by its cable or pull on the
cable to remove the plug from the socket-outlet.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

11. Don’t overreach

- Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance at all
times.

12. Look after your tools

- Keep your tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow the instructions for
maintenance work and for changing any attach­ments. Check the plug and cable regularly and, if
damaged, have them replaced by an authorized
specialist. Check the extension cable regularly
and replace it if damaged. Keep handles dry and
free from oil and grease.

13. Always pull out the power plug

- when the tool is not being used, before carrying
out any maintenance work and when changing
attachments such as blades, bits and cutters of
any kind.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

- Make sure that all keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool before switching it on.

15. Avoid unintentional starting

- Never carry a tool with your finger on the switch
if it is connected to the power supply. Make sure
that the switch is in OFF position when inserting
the power plug.

16. When using an extension cable outdoors

- check that it is approved for outdoor duty and is
marked accordingly.

17. Be alert at all times

- Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool if your mind is not on your
work.

18. Check the tool for damage

- Each time before re-using the tool, carefully
check that the guards or any slightly damaged
parts are working as intended. Check that the
moving parts are in good working order, that they
do not jam, and that no parts are damaged. Make
sure that all parts are fitted correctly and that all
other operating conditions are properly fulfilled.
Unless otherwise stated in the operating instruc­tions, damaged guards and parts have to be
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center. It is imperative to have damaged switches
repaired by an authorized service center. Never
use any tool if its switch cannot be turned off and
on.

Specific safety information

Please read this safety information and the directions

6. Voltage

The machine can only be run on single-phase alter­nating current with 230V ~ 50Hz a.c. voltage. Before
you use the machine for the first time, check that the
mains voltage is the same as the operating voltage
shown on the machine rating plate.

7. Using for the first time and operation

Important! This hedge trimmer is designed for the
trimming of hedges, bushes and shrubs. If it is used
for any other purpose not expressly permitted by
these operating instructions there may be a risk of
damage to the hedge trimmer or serious injury to the
user. The hedge trimmer comes with a two-hand
safety switch. It only works if the switch on the guide
handle (Fig. 2 / Item 1) is pressed with one hand and
either the switch on top of the handle (Fig. 2 / Item 2)
or the switch below the handle (Fig. 2 / Item 3) is
pressed with the other hand.
Releasing any of the switches will bring the hedge
trimmer to a stop.

Please watch out for the cutters as they slow
down to a standstill.

- Please check that the cutters work properly.
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite direc­tions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor­mance and smooth operation.

- Before use, fasten the extension cable in the

Anleitung GLH 661 GB 24.01.2006 8:50 Uhr Seite 7

8

cable strain relief clip (see Fig. 4).

- When working outdoors, use extension cables
that are approved for the purpose.

8. Tips on use

쎲 The hedge trimmer can be used not only for trim-

ming hedges but for trimming shrubs and bushes
as well.

쎲 For optimum trimming performance, guide the

blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the
hedge (see Fig. 5).

쎲 Since the blades cut on both sides and run in

opposite directions to each other, you can trim in
both directions (see Fig. 6).

쎲 To achieve a hedge with a uniform height it is

recommended that you stretch a piece of string
along the edge of the hedge for guidance. Then
simply cut away all twigs projecting above the
line (see Fig. 7).

쎲 The sides of the hedge should be trimmed with

arc-type movements from below upwards (see
Fig. 8).

9. Care, maintenance and storage

쎲 Always switch off the machine and pull the plug

before you start to clean the machine.

쎲 For optimum results at all times you should regu-

larly clean and lubricate the blades. Remove any
deposits with a brush and apply a light film of oil
(see Fig. 9).

Use biologically degradable oil.

쎲 Clean the plastic body with gentle domestic clea-

ning agent and a damp cloth. Never use aggres­sive media or solvents.

쎲 It is imperative that you prevent water from pene-

trating the machine. Never spray the machine
down with water.

쎲 For storage purposes the hedge trimmer can be

fastened to the wall with suitable screws and
dowels (see Fig. 10).

10. Faults

쎲 The machine does not start: Check that the

power cable is correctly connected and check
the mains fuses. If the machine still does not
work even with connected voltage, please send it
to the specified customer services address.

11. Disposal

Important!

The hedge trimmer and its accessories are made of
a diversity of materials such as, e.g. metal and plas­tic.
Defective parts must be disposed of as special
waste. Ask your specialist dealer or local authority for
details about where they can be disposed of!

12. Ordering replacement parts

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.
