Levels of noise and vibration were determined according to the standards and regulations in the declaration of conformity.
The specified total vibration value and the stated noise emission value have been measured according to a standardised test method and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The specified total vibration value and the stated specified noise emission value can also be used for a provisional assessment of the load.

The vibration and noise emissions may deviate from the specified values during actual use of the power tool, depending on how the power tool is being used. Try to keep the exposure to vibrations as low as possible. An example of a measure to reduce vibration exposure is limiting the working hours. All parts of the operating cycle have to be considered while doing so (for example, times when the power tool is switched off and times when it is switched on but running without any load).

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY
   1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
   1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
   1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Operation

Working with the device

Risk of injury! Pay attention to the following instructions.

• NOTICE! Damage to the safety cutter bar (2). While cutting, make sure that you do not touch any objects, such as wire fences or plant supports.
• Always wear sturdy shoes, longtrousers, ear protection, work gloves and protective goggles when operating the device.
• The device is only intended for workwhere you are standing on the ground and not on a ladder or other unstable surface.
• Do not use the device if a switch isdamaged.
• If the safety cutter bar (2) becomesjammed with solid objects, switch the device off immediately and remove the batteries. Only then should you remove the object.
• Avoid over-stressing the device whileworking.

Cutting techniques

• Cut out thick branches in advance us-ing lopping shears.
• The double-sided safety cutter bar (2)enables trimming in both directions, or via pendulum movements from one side to the other.
• When cutting vertically, move thehedge trimmer in a steady forward motion, or up and down in an archshaped motion.
• When cutting horizontally, move thehedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped motion to the edge of the hedge so that cut branches fall to the ground.
• We recommend tying cords to achievelong, straight lines.

Trimming shaped hedges (Fig. C)
It is advisable to trim hedges in a trapezoidal shape to prevent the lower branches from becoming bare. This corresponds to the plant's natural growth and allows hedges to thrive optimally. Only the new annual shoots are reduced during cutting to allow dense branching and good protection of privacy.

1. First trim the sides of the hedge. To do so, move the hedge trimmer from bottom to top in the direction of growth. If you cut downwards, thinner branches will move outwards which may cause thin patches or gaps.
2. Then trim the top edge as desired: straight, pitch-shaped or round.
3. Trim plants while young to achieve the desired shape. The main shoot should be left intact until the hedge has achieved the intended height. All other shoots are to be cut in half.

Cutting free-growing hedges
Free-growing hedges are not be trimmed into shapes but still need to be regularly cut to ensure they do not become too tall.

Before operation

Carry out the following steps before each operation. This will guarantee long and reliable use.

• Search the hedges and bushes for for-eign objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden wires.
• Check the device before each use forobvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Ensure that the screws in the safety cutter bar (2) are firmly in place.
• Do not cut with a dull or worn safetycutter bar (2), otherwise you will overload the motor and gears of your device.
• Check the covers and protectivedevices for damage and correct fit.
  • Stop protection (1)
  • Hand protection (3)
