Cutting Techniques; Maintenance/Cleaning - FLORABEST FHT 600 D3 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
• Always work away from the mains
power outlet. Set the cutting direction
before starting work. Ensure that the
power cable is kept well away from
the working area. Never lay the cable
over the hedge, where it could easily
be caught up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
• In order to hang up the device (e.g.
during a work break), there is a drill
hole in the impact protection (
Pull out the power plug im-
mediately if the cable is dam-
aged, badly twisted or has
been completely cut through.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables
cutting in both directions or, with a
swinging action, from one side to the
other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move
the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped
movement to the edge of the hedge, so
that cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines,
the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.
Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges be cut in
a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent
stripping off of the lower branches. This
corresponds to the natural plant growth
and allows the hedge to thrive optimally.
During cutting, only the new annual
growths are reduced and thus a dense
branching and a good screen will develop.

Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.

Maintenance/Cleaning

Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
This will prevent damage to the
equipment and any resulting per-
sonal injury.
Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment.
GB
Cut the sides of a hedge first.
To do this, move the hedge trim-
mer in the direction of growth
from bottom to top. If you cut
down from the top, the thinner
branches will move out, which
may result in some areas having
sparse growth or holes.
Cut the top edge, according to
taste, in a flat shape, roof shape
or rounded shape
Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should
remain undamaged until the
hedge has reached the planned
height. All other shoots are
lopped off to half size.
