and must be replaced.
Cleaning the Cutter Bar
(after each use)
•
Remove the battery.
•
Clean the cutter bar after each use. Remove
contamination, remains of blades etc.
•
Spray the cutter bar with maintenance oil to ensure
that the hedge trimmer has a long service life.
Preferably use environmentally friendly lubricants,
e.g. service sprays.
CAUTION!
Do not oil the hedge trimmer while it is running.
Work Instructions
1. Check that all parts are firmly attached and obviously
undamaged.
2. Look over the working area and remove any
obstructions. Remove all foreign objects from the
hedge, such as wire or other parts, as these may
block or damage the cutting mechanism.
3. Cut out thick branches beforehand using pruning
shears.
4. Pick up the power tool in both hands as specified.
5. Always cut at full engine speed.
6. Start cutting only with the cutting mechanism running.
7. The impact guard protects you against unpleasant
impacts, e.g. recoil torque of the cutter, when striking
a solid object (wall, ground, etc.).
8. Never touch wire fences or the ground with the
running cutting mechanism.
9. If cutting hedges over a prolonged period, interrupt
your work more frequently and oil the cutter bar.
10. Switch the engine off and remove the battery:
- to remove blockages (jammed clippings) from the
cutting bar;
- if the unit behavior changes or it vibrates unusually;
- if you have come into contact with foreign objects or
the ground;
- when taking breaks and leaving the unit unattended.
NOTE:
If the power tool is damaged or vibrates unusually,
it must be repaired by a service center before it is used
again.
11. After use, stop the motor and wait until all rotating parts
have come to a standstill.
12. Place the protection hood on the cutter bar.
Cutting Techniques
•
The hedge trimmer can be guided with its double-
