Storing the trimmer after use, Repair service

Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 3)

To switch on the hedge shears one of the switch bars on the hand grip (A or B) and the switch on the bow-type handle (C) must be held down. If one of the switches is released, the shea- ringblades will stop after ca. 0.2 seconds.

Expanded working height:If you want to reach higher or if you to above your head’s height

(see Fig. 8 ), you should take care of the follo- wing:

Attention: Take care to have a secure and safe standing position when working with your hedge shears in order to avoid slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing blades away from your body.

Quick blade stop

In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will stop in max. 0.2 sec. when one of the two switches is released.

Blade safety rail (Fig. 4)

The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduces the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact. As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries during transport.

Impact protector (Fig. 9)

The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks (blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).

Gear protection feature

If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the power plug from the power socket, remove the object and continue with the work.

The equipment is also fitted with an overload cut- out, which protects the gears against mechanical damage in the event of blade jams.

10. Storing the trimmer after use

The hedge shears must be stored such that there is no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the cutting blades!

Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned after each use.(see also Section 7. Maintenance).This will considerably increase the service life of the device. Please use a lubricator

that is not harmful to the environment , e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case with the cutting blades first.
