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