Maximum rating : 1. 00mm2 size cable, 10 amps 250 volts AC. · YOUR HEDGETRIMMER IS SUPPLIED WITH CABLE WIRED DIRECTLY INTO THE PRODUCT. Mains Cables and Extension Cables are available from your local Electrolux Outdoor Products Approved Service Centre. Do not wire an extension cable directly to your product yourself. Please contact your local Electrolux Outdoor Products Approved Service Centre for further information on the connectors and kits available. Only use extension cables specifically designed for outdoor use. CONNECTORS IMPORTANT · Connectors are suitable for use with 2 core cable only. Under no circumstances should these connectors be used for earthed products. · All connectors and cables are of splashproof construction. They are not waterproof and must not be left outside permanently nor should they be submerged or immersed in water. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and stand in a secure and stable position. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut. Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc. If blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer from the power source and clear jammed debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as needed. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results. Side Cutting When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. H), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth. G H 5 Caring for your Hedgetrimmer J Cleaning (J) 1.
