This can cause the blade blockage. If the blades
blocks,
1. stop the machine.
2. remove the battery pack.
3. remove the blockage.
• Do not try to cut too large stems or twigs.
• Wear the gloves when you cut.
• Cut the new growth with a wide sweeping action so
that the stems are put directly into the blade.
• You can use a string to adjust the height of the
hedge.
1. Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this
height.
2. Cut the hedge immediately above this string.
3. Cut the side of a hedge until it will be narrower at
the top. More of the hedge will come into view in
that way.
