> Push the trip switch (3) and then press the
ON/OFF switch (4).
> Release the trip switch.
> If the machine is used together with the telescopic

(20).
When the battery is run down the battery
warning lamp (2) comes up red and the machine
stops automatically.
Do not continue to operate the ON/OFF switch

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Hold the machine away from
yourself.
Stand in a secure and stable
position.
Always keep your hands and
feet at a safe distance to
the cutting tool.
You may not start to operate
the machine until you have
read these operating
instructions, observed all the
instructions given and installed
the machine as described!
Vibrations
If persons who have blood
circulation problems are too
often exposed to vibrations
damages to the nervous
system or to blood vessels may
occur.
You can reduce vibrations:
- by thick and warm working
gloves,
- shorter working time (have
longer breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers
swell, you don’t feel well or
your fingers become numb.
Shrub shear
Scare animals off the hedge
before starting to cut in
order to prevent them from
being injured.
Cutting hedges
Before cutting check the hedge for foreign objects
e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting,
move steadily along the line of cut, so that stems
are fed directly into the cutter blades. The double
edge of the cutting blade enables cutting to either
direction, or with a side to side motion.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Recommended cutting/trimming 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.
Grass shear/Grass shear with
telescopic handle
Edging
Guide the machine along the edge of the lawn. Do
not allow the blade to contact paved surfaces,
stones or garden walls, since this will wear the
blade rapidly.
For larger lawn it is advisable to use the telescopic
handle (available as an accessory or supplier with
“grass shear and telescopic handle” set).
After use replace the blade transport guard.
The unit can be adjusted to 3 working positions
> Push the switch (5) backwards.
> The handle (6) can be turned into the desired
position.
> Release the switch (5) and make sure that it
engages. The handhold is fixed.
MAINTENANCE
Before each maintenance and
cleaning work
− Stop the engine.
− Wait until the cutting device
does not longer move.
− Wear protective gloves
