Securing the extension lead (Fig. 2)
Only use extension leads suitable for outside use.
The cross section of the wire (max. length of
extension cord: 75m) must be at least 1,5 mm².
Secure the equipment flex to the extension lead
by inserting the extension lead into the strain relief
gap of the housing.
Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the
performance of the machine.

Use (Fig. 4)
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes
and hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges

movement.
- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a
sawing movement.
- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge
trimmer, should be cut with a saw.
- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a
taper.
In order to achieve an even height
- Fix a guide line at the required height.
- Cut evenly over this guide line.

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
immediately.
d) Impact protector (Fig. 5)

shocks (blade recoil) being transmitted to the
operator due to impact with solid objects (wall,
ground etc.).
