Only use extension cables that are also approved
for outdoors.
Prior to starting work, check the mains connection
cable and extension cable for damage. Only use
mains connection cables and extension cables in
perfect condition.
Position the extension cable such that it cannot be
caught by the cutting blades (e.g. sling over your
shoulder).
Examine the area to be cut and remove wire or other
foreign bodies.
If the cutting blades come to a standstill due to a
particularly hard branch or foreign body (wire in a
hedge) and the stoppage cannot be corrected by
pulling the hedge trimmer back, the motor must first
be switched off and the plug removed from the
socket before the cause of the blockage can be
removed manually from the cutting blade.
For other activities (e.g. removing twigs or cuttings),
deposit the machine outside the working area.
Lay the machine down such that persons are not at
risk.
When you have laid the hedge trimmer down, pull
the plug from the socket.
For storage and transportation, always slide the
enclosure onto the cutting blades. (It has been slid
on correctly if the Metabo lettering faces upwards).
Only carry the machine by the bow-type handle.

6. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check to see that the
rated mains voltage and mains frequency,
as stated on the rating label, match with your
power supply.
To prevent the hedge trimmer plug from
inadvertently being pulled out of the coupling socket
of the extension cable, attached the extension
cable to the cable strain relief device as shown (9)
(Figure on page 2).
Note: the cable tension device is designed to hold
approved extension cables (H07 RN-F 3G1,5 /
3G1,0) that are used most frequently for external
applications.
For other approved extension cables that are also
used outside, we recommend using the cable
tension strap, order no. 6.31070.

Check Quick stop:
Switch machine on briefly and then off again. Have
the machine repaired if braking time is clearly
lengthened.
7. Use
7.1
Switching On and Off
Switching on (safety two-hand operation):
• For normal applications: Press switch (2) and
switch (3).
• For a wider range: Press switch (1) and
switch (2).
To switch off:
Release one of the two actuated switches.
Thanks to the patented Quick stop, the cutting
blades come to a standstill within 0.05 seconds.
Have the machine repaired if braking time is
clearly lengthened.
The noise that sometimes occurs during a machine
Quick stop is design-related and has no influence
on operation and service life.
7.2
Cleaning the cutting blade
(after every use)
Before cleaning:
Switch the machine off.
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Wear protective gloves.
Remove contamination, remains of blades etc. (e.g.
with a brush or cloth)
After cleaning: Treat cutting blade with Metabo
hedge trimmer care oil 6.30474 or Pump Spray
6.30475 (biologically degradable).
8. Maintenance
It is advisable to have blunt cutting blades
sharpened in a specialist workshop. Check cutting
blades regularly for damage and have them
repaired in a specialist workshop immediately if
necessary.
