Adjusting the turning handle (Fig. 7)
The hedge trimmers are equipped with a turning
rear handle that can be set in 5 different position
[right (90°), left (90 °) and normal (0 °)]. The purpose
of this mechanism is that especially for cutting in
vertical direction the hedge shears can be held in
their most ergonomically favourable position to
avoid fatigue.
To the position of the handle:
Release switch (1). Press the locking pin (8). The
handle is now unlocked and can be turned to the
desired position. In the desired end position, the pin
locks back into place and securing the handle and
avoiding an accidental change of the position.
Please bear in mind that the locking pin (8) can only
be pulled back when the switch (1) is not activated
(held down). Make sure that the locking pin locks
into place again after repositioning the turning
handle. Only then the switch can be activated anew.

Important tips for hedge trimming
•
Ensure that you have a stable foothold and hold
the hedge trimmer with both hands.
Stepladders must be secure and set up on firm
ground and, when working at height, secured to
a thick branch as an additional precaution.
•
Keep people and animals out of the working
area.
Blade guard
•
Always remove the blade guard before using the
hedge trimmer.
•
Always re-fit the blade guard after use, during
transport and for storage of the hedge trimmer.
1) Trimming of hedges
-
Young shoots are best cut in a scythe
movement.
-
Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a
sawing movement.
-
Branches, which are too thick for the hedge
trimmer, should be cut with a saw.
-
Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a
taper.
2) In order to achieve an even height - Fix a guide
line at the required height.
