6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-han-
ded safety switch. The machine works only when
the switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3)
is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with the
other hand. If either switch is released, the cutters
will stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters
as they slow down to a standstill.
Notes on working practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Figure 7).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Figure 8).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 9).
Warning! Be particularly attentive when cutting
along the guide line. Do not cut through the guide
line. This could get entangled in the blades and
lead to injuries or damage to property.
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
10).
What to do if the blade gets blocked
1. Stop the equipment.
