Explanation of symbols

- Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves

and substantial footwear is recommended when working

outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long

hair.

- Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if

operation is dusty.

- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection

should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used

for the hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having

built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this

measure of safety.

- Use Right Appliance - Do not use appliance for any job

except that for which it is intended.

- WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only

with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,

SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.

- Extension Cords - Make sure your extension cord is in

good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the

heavier the cord.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

- Replacement Parts - When servicing use only identical

replacement parts.

- Polarized Appliance Connections - To reduce the risk

of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of

a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into

a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the

plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension

cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a

polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized

wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into

the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

- Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use hedge

trimmers in damp or wet locations.

- Don’t Use In Rain.

- Keep Children Away - All visitors should be kept at a

distance from work area.

- Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer

It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk

of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

- Don’t Overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

- Stay Alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not

operate hedge trimmer when you are tired.

- Disconnect Hedge Trimmer

Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the

power supply when not in use, before

servicing, when changing accessories

such as blades and the like.

- Store Idle Hedge Trimmers Indoors

When not in use, hedge trimmer should be stored indoors

in dry, and high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.

- Maintain Hedge Trimmer With Care

Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance

and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect hedge

trimmer cord periodically, and if damaged, have it re-

paired by an authorized service facility.

If the power cord is damaged,

disconnect the mains plug.

Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if

damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.

- Check Damaged Parts

Before further use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to

determine that it will operate properly and perform its

intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and

any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard

or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired

or replaced by an authorized service centre unless indi-

cated elsewhere in this manual.

- First Aid

For the event of a possible accident, please

make sure that a first aid kit is always

immediately available close by. Immedi-

ately replace any items used from the first

aid box.

When calling for help, give the following information:

- Place of the accident

- What happened

- Number of injured

- Kind of injuries

- Your name!

NOTE Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to

excessive vibration may experience injury to blood vessels

or the nervous system.

Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the

fingers, hands or wrists: ”Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling,

pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin colour or of the skin.

If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of disconnection of hedge

trimmer cord from the extension cord during

operating:

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADES!

Keep both hands on handles when power is on. Do not

attempt to remove cut material nor hold material to be cut

when blades are moving. Make sure trimmer is switched off

and unplugged when clearing jammed material from blades.

Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges of

trimmer.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

- Connect the mains plug (B/3) with the extension power

cord.

- Avoid Unintentional Starting - Don’t carry plugged-in

hedge trimmer with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off

when plugging in.

- Don’t Abuse Cord - Never carry hedge trimmer by cord

or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from

heat, oil and sharp edges.

- DANGER: RISK OF CUT!

- Hook the extension cord (A/1) in the strain reliever (A/2).

Operation

Refer to the Important Safety Instructions before operation.

Hold the trimmer with both hands and move it in front of your

body (see fig. E).

When operating the trimmer, keep extension cord behind trim-

mer. Never drape it over hedge being trimmed.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or other

hard objects while trimming. The blade will break and may

cause serious injury.

• Do not attempt to trim too much at a time, or malfunction of

the tool may result.

Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 16 mm (0.6”)

diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with

shears (fig. D) down to the hedge trimmer level.

- Hold the front handle (C/4) with one hand, depressing the

front grip safety (C/5).

- Grasp the rear handle (C/6) with the other hand and start the

trimmer with depressing the rear grip safety (C/7).

Caution: The trimmer will start immediately!

Note: The hedge trimmer will start only when both grip

safeties (C/5 and C/7) are depressed.

To switch off: Release one or both grip safeties. The trimmer

will stop immediately.

• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a

ladder, is extremely dangerous. Don’t work from anything

wobbly or infirm (see fig. F).

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged

before attempting to perform inspection and

maintenance. Always wear protective gloves!

STOP

Blade maintenance

After operation, clean off the blade (both sides) with a stiff

brush (fig. K). Then wipe the blades with a cloth and coat

them with light machine oil.

The tool will stop when the carbon brushes wear to a certain

length. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be

replaced.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other

maintenance or adjustment should be performed by

DOLMAR Authorized or Factory Service Centres, always

using DOLMAR replacement parts.

- Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape (about 10 cm / 4"

in at the top for every 1 m / 3’3" of height), cutting from

bottom to top (H). In this way you avoid cut material falling

down into the area not yet cut.

- Round off the top edges of the hedge (I), and finally trim

the bottom edges back somewhat (J).

Tips on trimming hedges

The procedure described here can be used very often and

makes working easier. If a hedge has to be cut back very

substantially, it should be trimmed in two passes.

- First cut the hedge to the desired height (fig. G). With

practice, it is possible to remove cut material from the

hedge with a swinging motion. To get a straight cut,

stretch a string along the hedge at the desired height.
