11. Working instructions
11.1 Working with the hedge trimmer
• The hedge trimmer is suitable for cutting hedges, bushes
and shrubs.
• Hold the hedge trimmer at a safe distance away from your
body with two hands.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type,
age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to
your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Thanks to the its double-sided cutting unit, the hedge trim-
mer can be moved forward and backward or from one side
to the other swinging it back and forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top edge.
• Cut hedges from bottom to the top.
• Cut the hedges in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower
hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when
you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large por-
tion of the hedge.
• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges
(e.g. wire), since they may damage the blade of the hedge
trimmer.
• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop the
blades with your hand.
The right time to cut:
• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May
Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge
cut or leave this area out if this is the case.
12. Transport
To transport the device, switch the engine off, wait until the
cutting device has come to a standstill and attach the blade
guard (E) (Fig. 4).
Carry the device by the front handle (3). Hold the cutting de-
vice (1) backwards and keep the hot silencer (13) away from
your body.
Only transport the device in the boot of the car or on a sepa-
rate transport surface.
