• Always hold the equipment firmly in
both hands, with one hand on the rear
handle and the other on the front han-
dle (13). Thumbs and fingers must be
firmly around the handles.
• Check the shoulder strap (19) on a
pleasant position, which makes it easier
for you to hold the hedge trimmer.
• 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.
Pull out the power plug im-
mediately if the cable is dam-
aged, badly twisted or has
been completely cut through.
Risk of electric shock!

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swing-
ing 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.
