Working Safely

• Observe the specified working an-
gle (see illustration above), in order
to guarantee safe working.
• Do not use the high pruning saw
when standing on a ladder or in
an unsafe position.
• Do not be tempted to make uncon-
sidered cuts. Doing so may endan-
ger both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the
equipment.
• Long use of the equipment can re-
sult in vibration-related circulatory
disorders in the hands. However,
the length of use can be extended
by using suitable gloves or taking
regular breaks. Note that a per-
sonal tendency for poor circulation,
low outdoor temperatures, or high
gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.

Maintenance/Cleaning

Repair and servicing work not de-
scribed in this manual should always
be carried by our Service Centre.
Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
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
secure seating of the bolts in the cutter
bar.
• 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 for
damage and correct seating. Replace
these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots and motor
housing of the device clean. Use a
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not
wash down the equipment with water,
or submerge it in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
• Clean the cutter bar
carefully after each
use. Wipe it off with
an oily cloth or spray
it with a metal protec-
tive spray.
