5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
Fitting the steady grip (Fig. 3a – 3c)
Remove the fastening screw (Fig. 3a/Item A) from
the steady grip and open the fastening clip (Fig.
3b/Item B). Now mount the steady grip on the
tube of the motor unit (Fig. 3b/Item 11a) as shown
in Fig. 3b. Then close the fastening clip and secu-
re with the fastening screw.
Mounting the extension pole and cutter bar
(Fig. 4a – 4c)
Depending on the height you need to reach, you
can use the hedge trimmer with or without the
extension pole (Fig. 2/Item 9). To use it, loosen
the fastening screw (Fig. 4a/Item C) on the motor
unit. Remove the protective cap (Fig. 2/Item 14)
from the extension pole and insert the extension
pole into the clamp on the motor unit. When in-
serting the extension pole, ensure that the snap
button latches in the hole in the clamp (Fig. 4b/
Item D). Then fasten the extension pole using the
fastening screw. To mount the cutter bar, loosen
the fastening screw (Fig. 4c/Item C). Remove the
protective cap (Fig. 2/Item 14) from the cutter bar
unit and insert the cutter bar unit into the clamp
on the extension pole. Once again, ensure that
the snap button latches in the hole in the clamp
(Fig. 4b/Item D). Then fasten the cutter bar using
the fastening screw.
Adjusting the tilt angle (Fig. 5a - 5c)
Important: Disconnect the power plug before you
adjust the tilt angle. The cutting blade can be tilted
to make the work as easy as possible.
Pull the safety lever towards the rear (Fig. 5a/Item
12). Then grasp the adjustment lever (Fig. 5b/Item
E). Actuate the locking lever (Fig. 5b/Item 13) and
release it again when you have fi nished adjusting
the tilt angle. Make sure that the lever latches in
place correctly. Then push the safety lever to-
wards the front (Fig. 5c/Item 12).
Important: When you have fi nished, make sure
that the safety lever and the locking lever are lat-
ched correctly.

Important: The gear unit can become hot during

operation.

Fitting the shoulder strap
Important: Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the hedge trimmer. Switch off the
equipment before you take off the shoulder strap.
There is a risk of injury.
1. Hook the carabiner into the strap holder as
shown in Fig. 6/Item G.
2. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that
the strap attachment is at waist level and you
can work without fatigue.
Note:
The shoulder strap is equipped with a safety
release (Fig. 6 / Item F) which you can use to
quickly detach the shoulder strap from the hedge
trimmer in case of danger. To operate the safety
release, pull it downwards.
Adjusting the handle (Fig. 6)
Important: Disconnect the power plug before you
adjust the handle.
Press the lock release (Fig. 6 / Item 15) to
move the handle to the desired position (-90°/-
45°/0°/45°/90°).
Make sure that the lock release latches in place
correctly!
6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Connecting to the power supply (Fig. 7)
•
Connect the power cable (Item 5) to an exten-
sion cable (Item B) suitable for outdoor areas.
Make sure that the extension cable is desig-
ned for the power rating of the hedge trimmer.
•
Secure the extension cable with the stress-
relief clip (Item 4) as shown in Fig. 7 to protect
it against pulling forces and accidental dis-
connection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a profes-
sionally installed safety mains socket with
ground contact. We recommend using a cable
with a bright and highly visible color (red or
yellow). This will reduce the risk of acciden-
tally damaging it with the hedge trimmer.
