9.2 In order to achieve an even height
- Fix a guide line at the required height.
- Cut evenly over this guide line.
Take care to have a secure and safe standing position
when working with your hedge shears in order to avoid
slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing blades
away from your body.
10. Maintenance
(fig. 9 and 10)
Always disconnect the plug from the
power socket before commencing any
work on the machine.
IMPORTANT!
Always clean and oil the blades after
prolonged use of the hedge trimmer. This will greatly
affect the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units
must be properly repaired immediately. Clean the shear-
ing blades with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt
– with a brush. Attention! Danger of injury! Oiling of the
blades should ideally be carried out using an environ-
mentally friendly lubricant (Fig. 9).
10.1 Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do not
require resharpening if used correctly. In order to pre-
vent injuries caused by the blades when not in use, the
sharpened cutting blade should be covered by the blade
cover. The blades cannot be sharpened by the user with-
out opening the equipment and the safety mechanism.
Resharpening of the blades can therefore only be carried
out at a specialist workshop.
10.2 Changing the blades
Only correct installation of the blades will guarantee
problem-free operation and function of the above men-
tioned safety feature of the blades. Changing of the
blades should therefore only be carried out at a specialist
workshop.
10.3 Blade safety rail
(Fig. 10)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact.
11. Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
IMPORTANT!
The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use (see also Section Maintenance).This
will considerably increase the service life of the device.
Please use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environ-
ment, e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their
case with the cutting blades first.
12. Repair service
ATTENTION! Electrical repairs may only
be carried out by a skilled electrician or a
customer service workshop!
If you send the machine to us for repair, please describe

13. Spare parts
Please contact our service department if you need acces-
sories or spare parts.
When working with this machine, do not use spare parts
other than those recommended by us. Using spare parts
not recommend by us can result in serious injuries to per-
sons or damage to the machine.
The following information should be provided when or-
dering spare parts:
• Type of machine
• Item number of the machine
14. Waste disposal and environ-
mental protection
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a col-
lection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.
Only for EU countries
Do not discard electric tools in the
household waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its im-
plementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man-
agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the ac-
cessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electrical
components accompanying the waste equipment.
