• Remove branches hanging down-
wards by sawing from the top of
the branch.
• Twisted branches must be indi-
vidually cut down to size.
Working with the hedge trimmer
• NOTICE! Damage to the safety cut-
ter bar (11). While cutting, make
sure that you do not touch any ob-
jects, such as wire fences or plant
supports.
• The on/off switch and the safety
switch must not be locked.
• Do not use the tool if a switch is
damaged.
• If the safety cutter bar (11) is ob-
structed by solid objects, switch
off the tool immediately, and re-
move the batteries. Only then
should you remove the object.
Carry out the following steps before
each use. This will guarantee long
and reliable use.
• Search the hedges and bushes for
foreign objects, e.g. wire fences
and hidden wires.
• Check the tool before each use
for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Ensure
that the screws in the safety cutter
bar are firmly in place (11).
• Do not cut with a dull or worn
safety cutter bar (11), otherwise
you will overload the motor and
gears of your tool.
Working with the spool
• In small grass areas hold the
device at an angle of about 30°
and swing the cutting head evenly
to the right and left with a semi-cir-
cular movement.
• The best results are obtained with
a maximum grass length of 15 cm.
If the grass is taller, it is recom-
mended to mow several times.

• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, slowly move the
device around the obstacle and cut
with the line ends.
• Avoid any contact with fixed
obstacles (e.g. rocks, walls, picket
fences, etc.). The line would wear
out quickly. Use the edge of the
protective cover to keep the device
at the correct distance.
CAUTION! Do not lay the cutting
head on the ground during operation!
Working with a metal cutting tool
WARNING! Risk of injury! Always
wear the harness and suitable protec-
tion clothing when working with the
device. Wear eye, hearing and head
protection. Ensure that the metal cut-
ting tool is installed correctly. Replace
damaged or blunt tool parts.
NOTICE! Only use the cutting blade
to work on open, even areas. Care-
fully inspect the area to be cut and re-
move all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting
stones, metal or other obstacles. The
metal cutting tool can be damaged
and there is a risk of kickback by the
device.
• When working, hold the cutting
head above the ground and swivel
the device back and forth like a
scythe in an equal arch.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an
angle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild
growth or brushwood.
• Check the metal cutting tool reg-
ularly for damage and replace a
damaged metal cutting tool.
