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
