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 de-
scribed in this manual should always
be carried by our Service Centre
(see p.50). Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. These could cause irrepa-
rable damage to the equipment.
Chemical substances can attack the
plastic parts of the equipment.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the se-
cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar
( 2).
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices

ing. Replace these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots (
tor housing of the device clean. Use a
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not

after each use.
After using the equipment, it is im-
perative to:
- Clean the blade (with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft with an oil can
or spray.
