Take hold of the support grip (6) and press
the safety button (5) on the support grip.
Take hold of the handle (8) and pull the
safety button (7) on the handle in towards
you. Press the on/off button (9) to start the
hedge trimmer.
If one of the buttons is released, the hedge
trimmer will stop.
Move the hedge trimmer from side to side
with even movements to cut the hedge.
Always start from the bottom and side, and
repeat the movement over the same area if
there is very thick foliage.
Hold the blade at an angle of approximately
15 degrees when cutting the hedge.
New shoots are cut easiest in a sweeping
movement.
Older or stiff er hedges are best cut with
sawing motions.
If necessary, extend a cord out by the hedge
so that you have a line to cut by.
Be very careful when cutting near walls, thick
branches, wire fencing or other obstacles.
If the blade comes into contact with an
obstruction, it can jam or kick back.
Stop the hedge trimmer immediately if the
blade jams. The blade can be damaged if
it comes into contact with metal, stone or
other solid objects.
Sparking may occur in the motor
compartment during use. This is normal and
does not indicate a defect.

hedge trimmer.
Wipe all parts of the trimmer with a damp
cloth. Apply a acid-free oil or lubricating
spray to all moving parts.
Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, dust-free,

be hung up using the suspension hole in the
tip protector (1).
Always place the protective cover (12) on
the blade when transporting or storing the
trimmer.

agents, as they may aff ect the plastic parts of
the hedge trimmer.
