• The double-sided safety cutter bar (2)
enables trimming in both directions, or
via pendulum movements from one side
to the other.
• When cutting vertically, move the
hedge trimmer in a steady forward
motion, or up and down in an arch-
shaped motion.
• When cutting horizontally, move the
hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped mo-
tion to the edge of the hedge so that
cut branches fall to the ground.
• We recommend tying cords to achieve
long, straight lines.
Trimming shaped hedges (Fig. C)
It is advisable to trim hedges in a
trapezoidal shape to prevent the lower
branches from becoming bare. This corres-
ponds to the plant's natural growth and al-
lows hedges to thrive optimally. Only the
new annual shoots are reduced during cut-
ting to allow dense branching and good
protection of privacy.
1. First trim the sides of the hedge. To do
so, move the hedge trimmer from bot-
tom to top in the direction of growth. If
you cut downwards, thinner branches
will move outwards which may cause
thin patches or gaps.
2. Then trim the top edge as desired:
straight, pitch-shaped or round.
3. Trim plants while young to achieve
the desired shape. The main shoot
should be left intact until the hedge has
achieved the intended height. All other
shoots are to be cut in half.
Cutting free-growing hedges
Free-growing hedges are not be trimmed
into shapes but still need to be regularly
cut to ensure they do not become too tall.
Before operation
Carry out the following steps before each
operation. This will guarantee long and re-
liable use.
• Search the hedges and bushes for for-
eign objects, e.g. wire fences and hid-
den wires.
• Check the device before each use for
obvious defects such as loose, worn or
damaged parts. Ensure that the screws
in the safety cutter bar (2) are firmly in
place.
• Do not cut with a dull or worn safety
cutter bar (2), otherwise you will over-
load the motor and gears of your
device.
• Check the covers and protective
devices for damage and correct fit.
• Stop protection (1)
• Hand protection (3)
