clamped correctly into the 3-pin plug.  
Flymo connectors are suitable for use with  
2 core cable only. Under no circumstances  
should these connectors be used for earth-  
ed products.  
5. If in doubt consult your local Service  
Repairer or qualified electrician before the  
machine is used.  
6. A 13 Amp fuse must be fitted to the  
Mains Plug.  
All Flymo connectors and cables are of  
splashproof construction. They are not  
waterproof and must not be left outside per-  
manently nor should they be submerged or  
immersed in water. Do not let cable lay or  
trail through pools of water or splashed with  
water from hose pipes.  
7. The normal plug fuse and household fuse  
only protect the electrical equipment and  
are not a safeguard against electrocution.  
If your product is hard wired i.e. non-  
detachable mains electric cable, a conver-  
sion kit and extension cable is available  
from all Electrolux Outdoor Products  
Approved Service Centres which can be  
found in your local Yellow Pages.

be destroyed. There is an electric shock  
hazard if a cut off plug is inserted into a  
13 amp socket.

double insulated to EN60335 and under no  
circumstances should an earth be connect-  
ed to any part of the product.

How to Use  
F
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer  
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use -  
remove objects which can be thrown or  
become entangled in the cutting blades.  
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your  
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and  
stand in a secure and stable position.  
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed  
before entering the material to be cut.  
4. Always work going away from people and solid objects  
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.  
5. 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.  
G
Top Cutting  
Use a wide sweeping motion. See Fig. F. 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. G), tapering the  
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more  
of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.

Lubricating the Cutting Blade  
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate  
the cutter blades before and after use. Apply  
the oil so that it runs between the two blades.  
See Pic J.
