7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (05)
WARNING!
Increased risk of falling
There is a greater risk of falling if work is
carried out from an elevated position
(e.g. ladder).
■
always work with the appliance from
the ground and make sure that you
are standing securely.
■
Heed the safety instructions.
■
Cut the hedge regularly and only at the per-
mitted times.
■
Only cut off the thin branches and new
growth on the surface of the hedge; do not
cut too deep.
■
Always cut the two sides of a hedge first, fol-
lowed by the top. This prevents cut material
from falling into areas that you have not yet
trimmed.
■
Hedges should always be trimmed into a
trapezoidal shape (tapering toward the top).
This prevents the leaves on the lower
branches from being shaded out (05).
■
Make sure the motor is stopped before you
remove any cuttings.
■
When leaving/transporting the appliance:
■
Switch off the tool.
■
Put on the blade guard.
■
Remove the battery.
■
After use, remove the battery and check the
appliance for damage.
