INFORMATION ON WORKING

The built-in spirit level (1-5, 5) facilitates cut-
ting along a straight line
Always cut both sides of the hedge first, be-
fore cutting the top. This will prevent cut ma-
terial from falling into areas that have not yet
been cut (9)
Hedges should always be cut in a trape-
zoid shape. This prevents the lower branches
from becoming bare
Make sure the motor is stopped before you
remove any cuttings.
When leaving unattended / transporting the
machine:
Switch the machine off
Push on the safety cover
Remove the battery
