Cutting Shrubs (only Shrub Shear)
u
Make sure that the product is switched off when removing
cut-off material or during maintenance. Unintentional
switching on may cause serious injury.
Before cutting check the hedge/shrub for foreign objects
e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting, move the
product steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed
directly into the cutter blades. The double edge of the cut-
ting blade enables cutting to either direction, or with a side
to side motion.
After use, mount the blade guard.
Recommended times
Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June and October.
Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs approx. every six
weeks from May onwards.
Cutting Edges (only Grass Shear)
Guide the product along the edge of the lawn. Prevent the
blade from coming into contact with paved paths, stones or
garden walls because this significantly reduces the lifetime
of the blade.
After use, mount the blade guard.
