Quick blade stop
In  order  to  avoid  injuries  through  cuts,  the  blade  will 
stop  in  max.  0.2  sec.  when  one  of  the  two  switches  is 
released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 9)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact. 
As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp 
cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly 
under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries 
during transport.
Impact protector (Fig. 11)
The  extended  guide  rail  prevents  unpleasant  shocks 
(blade  recoil)  being  transmitted  to  the  operator  due  to 
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
Gear protection feature
If solid objecst  are  caught in the  cutting  blade and jam 
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the 
power plug from the power socket, remove the object and 
continue with the work.
The  equipment  is  also  tted  with  an  overload  cutout, 
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in 
the event of blade jams. 
12. Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is 
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the 
cutting blades!
Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned 
after each use.(see also Section 9. Maintenance).This will 
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please 
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environ-ment , e. 
g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case with 
the cutting blades rst.
