Operation

Adjusting the Rear Handle

Depending on the planned use the rear handle can be rotated from 

the middle position by 90° in either direction (see Figure 3). Press 

the release button downwards

 and simultaneously rotate the 

rear handle to the left or right

until it clicks.

NOTE: The hedge trimmer will not turn on when the rear handle is 

not securely engaged in the respective end position. 

Powering the Hedge Trimmer

The hedge trimmer is switched on and operated with both hands. 

One hand operates the switch on the rear handle, the second hand 

the safety switch on the handlebar. If you release one of the two 

switches, the cutter bar automatically stops.

and hold down the switch interlock

. Press the switch

 and 

the safety switch

. The hedge trimmer runs.

Switching off

Release one of the two switches (see Figure 5). The cutter bar 

stops immediately. Wait until all rotating parts have stopped. Place 

the blade sheath on the cutter bar. 

Hedge Trimming

Always cut at full engine speed. The impact guard protects against 

the recoil torque of the cutter when striking a solid object. Cut the 

upper edges of the hedge slightly round. Cut in several stages if 

heavy trimming is required.

If cutting hedges over a prolonged period, interrupt your work 

frequently and oil the cutting bar. 

Switch the engine off and remove the battery to remove jammed 

clippings from the cutting blades.

The hedge trimmer can be guided with its double-sided cutters 

forwards and backwards or in an oscillating movement from one 

side to the other. Cut the sides of the hedge first and then the top.

When cutting sideways, rotate the rear handlebar sideways.

When cutting down low, hold the handlebar above. Cut the hedge 

from bottom to top. Hold the hedge trimmer at an angle of 5–10° to 

the hedge to ensure a straight cut.
