2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded
shape.
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.
Maintenance/Cleaning
Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
This will prevent damage to the
equipment and any resulting per-
sonal injury.
Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment. There is a risk of electrocution
or of injury from moving parts.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades. Risk of cuts.
Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. These could cause irrepa-
rable damage to the equipment.
Chemical substances can attack the
plastic parts of the equipment.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guaran-

-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the
secure seating of the bolts in the cutter
