This document describes the NETTA 710W Hedge Trimmer, a power tool designed for domestic and indoor use. It serves as a user instruction and operation manual, providing essential information for safe and effective use, maintenance, and disposal of the product.
Function Description:
The NETTA 710W Hedge Trimmer is an electric-powered appliance specifically designed for trimming hedges. Its primary function is to cut branches up to 20mm in diameter, facilitating the shaping and maintenance of hedges in a straight horizontal, roof-like, or rounded form. The device features a safety blade with laterally rounded and staggered cutting teeth to minimize the risk of injury, and additional shock protection to prevent kickback when the blades encounter obstacles like walls or fences. It is intended for use by individuals who are supervised, especially if they have limited experience, knowledge, or physical/mental capabilities.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Rated Power: 710W
- Voltage: 230-240V
- Cutting Diameter: 24mm
- No-Load Speed: 1700/min
- Power Source: Single-phase AC source
- Blade Brake: Stops blades within 0.5 seconds upon switch release.
Usage Features:
The hedge trimmer is designed for straightforward operation with several key features:
- Dual-Switch Activation: To start the machine, both the on/off switch on the rear handle and the on/off switch on the front handle must be pressed simultaneously with both hands. This ensures two-handed operation for safety.
- Instant Stop Feature: Releasing either of the two switches immediately activates the blade brake, stopping the blades within 0.5 seconds. This rapid stop mechanism enhances user safety.
- Extension Cord Management: The manual advises forming a loop with the extension cord, pushing it through an opening in the rear handle, and hooking it over the cable holder. This helps prevent accidental disconnection and keeps the cord out of the way during operation.
- Recommended Cutting Technique: Users are advised to cut the sides of the hedge from bottom to top first, then shape the upper part as desired. The lever guide assists in controlling the blade for precise cuts.
- Pre-Cutting Preparation: Before using the trimmer, it is recommended to select and cut branches larger than 20mm with pruning shears to avoid jamming the blades.
- Obstacle Handling: In case the blades become jammed or blocked, the user must immediately switch off the motor, unplug the device, and then remove the obstructing object. Caution is advised regarding metal obstacles, as they can damage the cutting blades.
- Cord Positioning: Users should always keep the extension cord behind their back and begin cutting the hedge at the point nearest to the supply socket.
- Work Planning: It is recommended to plan the working direction before starting to ensure efficient and safe operation.
- Vibration Reduction: Holding the power tool firmly is suggested to reduce vibration levels and prevent discomfort.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The manual emphasizes the importance of using personal protective equipment, specifically eye protection and ear protection, during operation. Soft gloves are also recommended to prevent discomfort from vibrations.
- Environmental Considerations: The product is not intended to be wrapped in cloth or other materials to suppress noise, as this can hinder ventilation, potentially leading to fire and burns.
Maintenance Features:
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the hedge trimmer:
- Pre-Operation Checks: Before each use, the machine should be checked regularly. This includes inspecting cables for bursts or snaps, ensuring the power-plug is undamaged, and verifying that all knobs function correctly.
- Post-Operation Cleaning: After each cutting operation, the cutting blade should be cleaned with a soft brush and a cloth moistened with lubricating fluid oil. A thin layer of fluid protective oil should then be sprayed on the blades to prevent rust and maintain performance.
- Ventilation Slot Maintenance: The ventilation slots in the motor housing must always be kept clean to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
- Motor Housing Cleaning: The motor housing should be cleaned only with a moist cloth. Detergents or solvents should never be used, as they can damage the plastic parts of the machine. After cleaning, the motor housing should be carefully dried.
- Blade Repair/Exchange: Damaged cutting blades must be repaired or exchanged before the machine is used again.
- Storage: The machine should be stored with the supplied protection cover to protect the blades and other components.
- Accessory Use: Only original accessories and spare parts should be used for the device.
- Professional Servicing: In case of a damaged cord or plug, malfunction, or damage from dropping, the appliance should be returned to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical/mechanical adjustment. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a qualified technician to avoid hazards.
- Unplugging: The device should be unplugged from the outlet when not in use and before any cleaning or maintenance operations.
The manual also includes information on spare parts, repair services, and proper disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2002/96/EC, emphasizing responsible disposal and avoiding general waste to prevent environmental contamination.
