• Never work
- with stretched arms
- on hardly accessible places
- too far bent forward
• Never work with the hedge trimmer above shoulder height.
• Never get in contact with the running cutting device with me-
tallic fences or the ground.
• Stop the engine and pull the spark plug connector:
- when you notice changes in the device’s behaviour,
- to remove jammed material,
- to check the cutting device after it had contact with stones,
nails or other hard objects,
- to eliminate faults,
- for work breaks,
- before leaving the hedge trimmer.
• Do not place a hot hedge trimmer in dry grass or onto inflam-
mable objects.
• Before starting your work make sure that:
- no other persons or animals stay within the working area,
- you can always step back without any barriers,
- your standing area is free from foreign objects, brush-
wood and branches,
- you have always a secure standing position.
If persons who have blood circulation problems are too often
exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or to
blood vessels may occur.
7.2 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.
7.3 Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe distance
from the body.
• 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.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can be
guided forward and backward or by oscillating movements
from one to another side.
• At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower
hedge area from growing 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 portion
of the hedge.
7.4 Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off
hedge trimming or leave this area out.
At any case pay attention to all safety instructions.
7.5 Behaviour in the event of malfunctions or accidents
In case of malfunctions or accidents, immediately press the on/
off switch (6) to turn off the hedge trimmer.
7.6 First aid
For potentially occurring accidents, the First Aid kit, according
to DIN 13164, should always be handy at the work place.
Material taken from the First Aid kit must be replaced imme-
diately.
When you are requesting help, give the following information:
