Extend the nylon cutter:
To lengthen the cutting thread, let the engine run at
full throttle and tap the thread spool on the ground.
The thread is extended automatically.
The blade A on the cutting thread guard C shortens
the thread to the permissible length (see fig. 6d).
Jamming:
If the cutting tool jams, stop the engine immediately.
Clear the machine of grass and brushwood before
starting it up again.

The double-sided cutter bar allows cutting in both
directions or by using swinging movements from
one side to the other.
•
For a vertical cut, move the hedge trimmer evenly
forwards or up and down in an arc.
•
For a horizontal cut, move the hedge trimmer in a
scything motion along the edge of the hedge so
that cut branches fall to the ground. Remove
thicker branches with a branch cutter.

Sawing off small branches:
•
Place the stop (33) on the branch. This will
help you work more safely and quietly.
•
Saw small branches (Ø 0–8 cm) from the
top down.
Sawing off larger branches:
•
When sawing larger branches (Ø 8–25 cm),
first make a relief cut A. A relief cut also
prevents peeling of the bark on the main
trunk.
•
Saw from the top B to the bottom A.
