v All connectors and cables are of splashproof construction.
They are not waterproof and must not be left outside per-
manently nor should they be submerged or immersed in
water. Do not let cable lay or trail through pools of water
or splashed with water from hose pipes.
Mains Plug:
IMPORTANT!
If the plug supplied is cut off it should be destroyed. There
is an electric shock hazard if a cut off plug is inserted into
a 13 amp socket.
1. No earth required. Our products are double insulated to EN60745
and under no circumstances should an earth be connected to any part
of the product.
2. Ensure the mains voltage suits your product
3. The normal plug fuse and household fuse only protect the electrical
equipment and are not a safeguard against electrocution.
If your product is hard wired i. e. non-detachable mains electric
cable, a conversion kit and extension cable is available from
all Approved Service Centres which can be found in your local
Yellow Pages.

3. OPERATION

To start:
1. Remove the blade cover (A).
2. There are two switch levers fitted to your hedgetrimmer (B1 / B2).
Both switch levers need to be pressed for the product to start.
To stop:
• Move hedge trimmer away from cutting area before stopping.
v To stop, release any switch lever (C).
How to use your hedge trimmer:
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use – remove objects which can be
thrown or become entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the hedge trimmer in front of your body. Hold handle firmly
with both hands and stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material
to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls,
large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the hedge trimmer. Disconnect the
hedge trimmer from the power source and clear jammed debris from
the cutting blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as needed.
Top cutting:
Use a wide sweeping motion (D). A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
Side cutting:
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut
upwards (E) tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose
more of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.

4. MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Disconnect from the mains electricity supply, before attempting
any maintenance or adjustment.
Cleaning (F):
1. Using a soft brush – remove debris from all air intakes and cutting
blade.
2. Wipe over surface of your hedge trimmer with a dry cloth.
