product for anything other than its intended

Trimming a hedge - best method
• Apart from hedges the hedge trimmer may
also be used for cutting bushes.
• The best cutting effect is achieved when holding
the blade at an angle to the of approx. 15°.
• The opposite rotating knives cut on both sides,
and it is therefore possible to trim the hedge in
both directions.
• The side of the hedge are trimmed using
curved shaped movements from the bottom
and upwards.
• Ideally a hedge should be wider at the
bottom than the top. This will improve light
penetration, keeping the hedge healthy. If
possible, trim both sides of the hedge.
• When trimming the sides of the hedge, trim
from the bottom upwards. This will ensure
there are no hedge trimmings obscuring or
interfering with your cut strokes. The blade
should not be forced to cut too deep. Cut
lightly through the surface of the hedge.
• When trimming the top of the hedge, trim away
from you but do not over-reach. It is much
wiser and safer to move along and cut within
your reach remaining on two feet at all times.
Safety transport
The hedge trimmer has a transport protection
cover (2) for safe transportation of the machine.

5. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance,
always switch off the machine and
unplug the power cord.
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that
the ventilation openings are free of dust and
dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft
cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any
solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia,
etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the
synthetic components.
Cutting blade
• Always wear gloves when handling or cleaning
the cutting blade.
• Clean the cutting blade and spray with a
protective oil after every use. We recommend
lubricating the cutting blade with protective oil
at regular intervals during long working periods.
• Visually inspect the condition of the cutting
blade Check that the screws are firmly seated
in the cutter bar.
• Ensure that the blade guard is fitted on the
machine.
