Using the Unit

Cutting Season
Observe country-specific or municipal
rules and regulations for cutting hedges.
Do not use your power tool during other
people's normal rest periods.
Preparations
Use lopping shears or a chain saw to cut
out thick branches first.
Cutting Sequence
If a radical cut is necessary, cut a little at
a time in several stages.
Cut the sides of the hedge first, then the
top.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted.

Working Technique
Horizontal Cut (with cutter bar at an
angle)
Cutting close to the ground from a
standing position, e.g. low shrubs.
WARNING
The K version is not approved for cutting
close to the ground.
Vertical Cut (with cutter bar at an angle)
Cutting without standing directly next to
the hedge, e.g. flowerbed between
operator and hedge.
Swing the cutter bar up and down in an
arc as you move along the hedge – use
both sides of the cutting blades.
