the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units must
be properly repaired immediately. Clean the shearing
blades with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt – with a
brush. Attention: Danger of injury!Oiling of the blades
should ideally be carried out using an environmentally
friendly lubricant.

Holding the hedge trimmer when in use
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and
hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges
- Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.
- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a sawing
movement.
- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer,
should be cut with a saw.
- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
