ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER USER'S MANUAL
8 Operating instructions
Connecting to the mains power supply
Before connecting the product to the power outlet ensure that the voltage on the label is the same as
voltage source in your power socket. It is recommended to connect this machine to a power socket
that is protected by current protection with a release current of 30 mA. Never hold the power plug
with wet hands.
The connecting power socket on connecting elements must be made from rubber, soft PVC
or another thermoplastic material of the same strength, or must be coated with this material.
Used connecting power conductors must have the minimum parameters of a rubber cable H07RN-F
according to DIN 57 282/VDE 0282 and must have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm 2 .
Power plug connections must have protected contacts and connections protected against spraying water.
Guide the connecting power cord through the pull reduction on the guide handle and insert into the
combination trigger switch – power plug.
Before use, check that the conductors are not damaged or showing signs of material ageing. Never
operate the machine if the electrical lines are not in perfect condition (also applies to lines going to
the motor). If the power cord is damaged while trimming, immediately pull the power plug out of
the mains and only then check the damage.
The extension cord must have the cross section in accordance with the user's manual and must be
protected against spraying water. The power plug connection must not lie in water.
If the product's power cord is damaged, have an authorised service or qualifi ed person replace it,
in order to prevent hazards. The product must not be used with a damaged power cord or plug.
Do not disconnect the power cord from the electric power socket by pulling the power cord.
Avoid turning the machine on and off too frequently in a short time period, namely playing with the
switch.
Before adjusting the machine, cleaning it, and likewise before performing any inspection,
maintenance or repairs, turn off the machine and disconnect it from the electrical power source by
pulling the power cord from the power socket.
The repairs of electrical parts may only be performed by an authorised service centre or the vendor.
On impact with a foreign object, turn off the motor, pull the power cord from the mains, identify the
damage and carry out the necessary repairs. Only then start the machine again and continue working.
If the device starts to vibrate unusually, immediately pull the plug out of the socket and inspect the
machine.
Do not work in such a way that limits the movement of the extension cord.
Do not place the power cord near hot surfaces, or over sharp objects. Do not place heavy objects
on the power cord. Position the cord so that it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Make sure the
power cord is not touching a hot surface.
Keep the power cord and extension cord at a suffi cient distance from the cutting mechanism.
Danger of electrical shock, always be aware of where the power cord is located.
The voltage fl uctuations caused by this machine during start-up may during unfavourable mains
conditions cause interference with other devices connected to the same circuit. In such a case take
appropriate measures (e.g. connect the machine to a different circuit or operate it in circuit with
a lower impedance).
Pay attention to necessary extension cords.
If you are not using the product, or if you know that you will not be using it soon, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. Prior to cleaning, proceed in the same manner.
