Instructions for use
The hedge trimmer is provided with some unassembled components. To assemble these,
proceed as follows:

Grasp the protective guard protection (3) and firmly fix it in front of the front handle using
the four screws provided.
OPERATION

The handle is equipped with a cable holder which allows a better fixation of the extension
cord. Caution: The operation must be done when the hedge trimmer is not running. GB 12

work.
• Stopping:

Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands and keep it a safe distance away from your
body. Ensure that you always maintain a stable position.
Pass the extension cable
over your shoulder and pay attention that it always stays behind you while you are
working. Never pass the cable over the hedge, it is likely to be caught by the blades. It is
possible to cut branches up to a maximum thickness of 16 mm. In order to approach
branches with the blades, move the hedge trimmer forwards straight along the line of the
cut. Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the top. In order to obtain a perfect shape, we
recommend you cut upwards in the direction of the growth. If you cut from top to bottom,
the thinner branches will move outwards leaving holes or less bushy places.
In order to cut the top in a straight line, stretch a wire along the entire length of the hedge
at the desired height.
Take care not to cut foreign objects such as metal wires, latticework ... which would be
likely to damage the blades or the drive.
