Manual

ENGLISH

Make sure the handle clicks and locks into the front

handle release buttons (4).

Connecting the tool to the mains

Unless the tool is fitted with a mains cable, you will need to

connect an extension cable to the power inlet.

◆ Connect the female socket of a suitable extension cable

to the power inlet of the tool.

◆ Insert the mains plug into a mains outlet.

Warning! The extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use.

When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Switching on and off

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

◆ Carefully guide the cable in order to avoid accidentally

cutting it. A good way to control the cable is by putting it

over your shoulder.

◆ For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double

switching system. This system prevents starting the tool

inadvertently and will only allow operation while holding

the tool with both hands.

Switching on

Warning! Make sure the handle is fully locked in either the

forward or the extended position.

◆ Squeeze the handle switch (1).

◆ Squeeze the trigger switch (2) to start the tool.

Switching off

◆ Release the handle switch (1) or the trigger switch (2).

Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.

Hints for optimum use

◆ Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the

tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade

tips point slightly towards the hedge (fig. C1). This will

cause the blades to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at

the desired angle and move it steadily along the line of

cut. The double-sided blade allows you to cut in either

direction.

◆ In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of

string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.

Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it.

◆ In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth.

Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts

downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge.

◆ With the handle in the extended position the tool can be

used to cut the high sides of the hedge. Move the tool

side to side in a 40° arc (fig. C2).

◆ Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid

hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these

could damage the blades.

◆ Regularly oil the blades.

Guidelines for trimming (UK & Ireland)

◆ Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in June and October.

◆ Trim evergreens in April and August.

◆ Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from May until October.

Guidelines for trimming (Australia & New Zealand)

◆ Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in December and March.

◆ Trim evergreens in September and February.

◆ Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from October until March.

Maintenance

Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of

time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory

operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and

unplug the tool.

◆ After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply

a film of light machine oil to prevent the blades from

rusting.

◆ Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a

soft brush or dry cloth.

◆ Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.

Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

◆ Make sure all the handle release buttons and switches

are free of debris before and after use.

◆ Always store the tool with the handle locked in the

forward position.

Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

◆ Safely dispose of the old plug.

◆ Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new plug.

◆ Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.

Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality

plugs. Recommended fuse: 5 A.
