Operating the Hedge Trimmer

Step 4 - Trimming (continued)

Always start with the sides. Guide the hedge trimmer along an arch route up and down and keep 
cutting. You should be using both blade sides. 
When cutting hold the hedge trimmer at the angle of about 15° and guide it horizontally across 
the hedge. When cutting the top part guide the trimmer in a sickle like movement toward the 
hedge edges. Cut branches will then fall on the ground.
- Do not cut hedges out of the main trimming and pruning season.
- If the branches are bigger than 22mm, they must be removed by pruning shears.
- If heavy pruning is required, you should work in stages. 

The hedge trimmer is equipped with an automatic brake system for quick stop which stops the 

blade immediately once the throttle is released to prevent a possible accident. 
If you want to switch off the machine completely, you must move the switch into the “OFF“ 

position.
