3. Introduction

This Hedge Trimmer is one of the tools in the extensive range of accu-system V12 equipment from GARDENA.

Please use the following articles from the accu-system V12 pro- gramme to operate this tool:

1.Accu A 12 (Art. No. 2109) as the energy supply / battery for the accu-system V12.

2.Battery Charger NL 12

(Art. No. 2105) as the charger for the accu-system V12.

Alternatively, the Accu-Pack AP 12 (Art.-No. 2110) can be used as the energy supply.

This can be recharged using the Battery Charger NL 12 or by the High-speed Battery Charger SL 60 which is avail- able as an alternative.

Important! The High-speed Battery Charger SL 60 (Art. No. 2100) is designed only for charging the Accu- Pack AP 12 (Art. No. 2110).

Note: Telescopic handle

extended to the appropriate

length for upright working.

For trimming high hedges up to approx. 2.5 m from the ground without the need for a ladder or scaffolding (fig. D/D1).

Note: Telescopic handle ex- tended to the appropriate length. Control of the Tele- scopic Hedge Trimmer is within arm’s reach for easier handling (fig. D).

Important! Always ensure that the selected position snaps in correctly. Danger of injury!

4. Proper use

The GARDENA Accu Telescopic Hedge Trimmer is designed for trimming hedges in domestic gardens and allotments.

Gardening tools for private house- holds and gardens are consid- ered unsuitable for use in public grounds, parks, sports centres, in agriculture or forestry.

Compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer is a prerequisite for using the tool correctly.

The operating instructions also include the conditions for opera- tion, repair and maintenance.

Attention! Because of Athe danger of physical injuries, this tool must not be used for cutting lawns / grass verges, or for cutting in the sense of shredding for com- posting.

6. Operation (fig. H/I)

Insert the accu 5 in the re- ceptacle as illustrated in figure I. Ensure that the accu snaps in correctly. Pay attention that this audibly “clicks” into position.

The accu is released from the tool by simultaneously pressing both of the orange coloured locking buttons.

The Hedge Trimmer is fitted with a two-hand safety switch to pre-

vent the tool being turned on by accident. Thus both hands are required to operate the Hedge Trimmer (fig. H):

1.Hold by the 3-point guide

handle 1 and press one of the three button switches 2.

2.Hold the grip 3 with the other hand and depress the button switch 4. The Hedge Trimmer will then start to run.

Simply release either of these switches in order to stop the trimmer.

In accordance with safety regu- lations, an additional safety device ensures that the blade motion stops within 1 sec.

The projecting guide (impact protection) prevents any kick- back if the trimmer hits a solid object.
