English 15 Switching the Hedge Trimmer On and Off
15.1 Switching On
WARNING
Never operate your hedge trimmer if it is modified, damaged,
improperly adjusted or maintained, not completely and
securely assembled or not functioning properly, @ 6.4. To
reduce the risk of personal injury, always wear proper
clothing and protective apparel, including proper eye
protection, when operating your hedge trimmer, @ 6.3.
Before switching on:
► Make sure you have a secure and firm footing.
► Stand upright.
► Always hold and operate the hedge trimmer with one hand
firmly on the control handle and the other hand firmly on
the loop handle or front handle.
To switch the hedge trimmer on:
► Depress and hold the trigger switch lockout (1).
► While holding the trigger switch lockout, push the retaining
latch (2) forward with your thumb and release it.
The LEDs indicate the current power level.
► Squeeze the trigger switch (3) with your index finger.
The cutting blades will start moving.
The motor will not switch on unless the trigger switch lockout
is depressed, the retaining latch has been pushed forward
and the trigger switch has been pressed.
If the trigger switch and the trigger switch lockout are
released, the LEDs will remain flashing for approximately
1 second. As long as the LEDs are flashing, the hedge
trimmer can again be switched on without pushing the
retaining latch forward.
15.2 Switching Off
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended
activation or unauthorized use, switch off the motor and
remove the battery before transporting or putting the hedge
trimmer down.
To switch the hedge trimmer off:
► Release the trigger switch and trigger switch lockout so
that the trigger switch springs back to the locked position.
In the locked position, activation of the trigger switch is
blocked by the trigger switch lockout. Activation of the
hedge trimmer is also electronically blocked by the
retaining latch once the LEDs stop flashing.
The cutting blades will continue to move for a short time after
the trigger switch is released. Take care to avoid contact
after releasing the trigger switch and when setting down the
hedge trimmer.
16.1 Testing the Controls
Before starting work, confirm that the trigger switch
lockout (1), retaining latch (2) and trigger switch (3) are
