Operation
Working with the device
WARNING! Risk of injury! Pay atten-
tion to the following instructions.
• NOTICE! Damage to the safety cutter
bar (1). While cutting, make sure that
you do not touch any objects, such as
wire fences or plant supports.
• Check the device before each use for
obvious defects such as loose, worn or
damaged parts.
• Always wear sturdy shoes, long
trousers, ear protection, work gloves
and protective goggles when operating
the device.
• The device is only intended for work
where you are standing on the ground
and not on a ladder or other unstable
surface.
• Do not try to lock the on/off switch in
place. The engine must be switched off
when the switch has been released.
• Do not use the device if a switch is
damaged.
• If the safety cutter bar (1) is obstructed
by solid objects, switch off the device
immediately, and remove the battery.
Only then should you remove the ob-
ject.
Cutting techniques
• Cut out thick branches in advance us-
ing lopping shears.
• The double-sided safety cutter bar (1)
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-
36
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
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.
NOTICE! Please also observe the illustra-
tions on the fold-out page on how to use
the device.
