7. Working with the hedge trimmer
mounting kit
•
Check that the cutters work properly. The
twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting
performance and smooth operation.
•
Take care to maintain a steady foothold and
hold the equipment firmly in both hands away
from your body. Before you switch on, make
sure that the equipment is not touching any
objects.
Work practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Fig. 18).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both
directions (see Fig. 19).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Fig. 20/21).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 22).

8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering spare parts
HAZARD!
Remove the battery pack before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning
it with a brush. Do not use any tools for
cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of oil so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or
other liquids in order to clean it.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guards.
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Maintenance
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated
at regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits with a
brush and apply a thin fi lm of oil (Fig. 23).
