7.2 You can reduce the vibrations:
• With strong, warm work gloves.
• Shortening the work time (take several long breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers swell up, you feel unwell or your
fingers go numb.
7.3 Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the petrol hedge trimmer at a safe distance away from
your body with two hands.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood’s type,
age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to
your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Thanks to the its double-sided blade, the petrol hedge trim-
mer can be moved forward and backward or from one side
to the other swinging it back and forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top edge.
• Cut the hedges from bottom to the top.
• Cut the hedges in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower
hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when
you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large por-
tion of the hedge.
7.4 The right time to cut:
• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May
Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge
cut or leave this area out if this is the case.
Always observe all safety instructions.
7.5 Behaviour in case of malfunctions or accidents
In case of malfunctions or accidents, stop the petrol hedge
trimmer immediately with the on/off button (6).
7.6 First aid
A first-aid kit according to DIN 13164 should always be avail-
able at the workplace in the event of an accident. Immediately
refill removed material.
When you request assistance, provide the following information:
• Where it happened?
