8. Working instructions

Working with hedge trimmer
• The hedge trimmer may be used only for cutting hedges,
bushes and shrubs
• Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe
• distance from the body.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type,
age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to
your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can be
guided forward and backward or by oscillating movements
from one to another side.
• At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper
edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge
when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge
evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large
portion of the hedge.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of the
hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the knives of the
hedge trimmer.
Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6
weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off
hedge trimming or leave this area out.
Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before
starting work, with environmentally friendly lubricant.
Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well.
Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been turned
off.
CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush
cutter and cause severe injuries because of pieces hurled
away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting blade,
take note of following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is larger
than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages. Never
continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
