• Always work away from the mains pow-
er outlet. Set the cutting direction before
starting work. Ensure that the power
cable is kept well away from the work-
ing area. Never lay the cable over the
hedge, where it could easily be caught
up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
• There is a hole in the impact protection
(
1) and the bottom of the appliance
to hang the appliance (e.g. while tak-
ing a break from working) (see “wall
bracket”).
Pull out the power plug im-
mediately if the cable is dam-
aged, badly twisted or has
been completely cut through.
Cutting Techniques
• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swing-
ing action, from one side to the other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move the
hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped move-
ment to the edge of the hedge, so that
cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines,
the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.
Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges be cut in
a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent
stripping off of the lower branches. This
corresponds to the natural plant growth
and allows the hedge to thrive optimally.
During cutting, only the new annual
growths are reduced and thus a dense
branching and a good screen will develop.
1. Cut the sides of a hedge fi rst. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the
direction of growth from bottom to
top. If you cut down from the top, the
thinner branches will move out, which
may result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a fl at 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 de-
scribed in this manual should always
be carried by our Service Centre.
Use only original parts. This will pre-
vent damage to the equipment and
any resulting personal 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.
