▪ Switch the hedge trimmer off immediately if any of
the following problems occur:
- Leakage of lubricant through ventilation holes;
- Damage to the hedge trimmer housing;
- Damage to the "ON/OFF" switch;
- Appearance of smoke or characteristic burning smell;

Handle usage

To reduce fatigue when working, the handle can be
turned 90° to the left or right.
Do not press the switch during this operation.
Proceed as follows:
▪ Release the handle by pressing the upper switch (4);
▪ Turn the handle until the switch locks;
▪ When the handle is locked in the new position, you
can press the switch again.

Starting and stopping the hedge trimmer

1. Press the front handle switch (3) and the
"ON/OFF" switch (6) and touch the drilling
accessory to the surface to be cut;
2. To increase and decrease the blade speed, press
or release the "ON/OFF" switch. The maximum
speed is reached with the switch fully pressed;
3. To turn off the hedge trimmer, release the
"ON/OFF" switch

Cutting work and techniques

Do not allow anyone to come close to the machine while
it is running.
Cut the sides first and then the top.
Vertical cutting:
With a single blade hedge trimmer, always cut from
bottom to top. With a double-blade hedge trimmer, cut
from the bottom to the top and then in the opposite
direction, to use both sides of the blade.
Horizontal cut:
Tilt the blade slightly in the cutting direction for best
cutting results. Cut slowly, especially in thick hedges.
Always follow the safety instructions.
The hedge trimmer should only be used on
hedges or small shrubs.
Do not use it as a lever to move or break objects or lock
on fixing holders.
The use of tools or accessories other than those
indicated by the manufacturer is prohibited. Do not use
for pruning trees or cutting grass.
Only use the speed-up necessary to carry out the work.
Excessive engine speed is unnecessary. Avoid cutting
thick branches as they will damage the blades and
shorten the service life of the machine.
Tilting the blade between 5° and 10° will make the job
easier and result in a more effective cut.
When the machine is operated for the first time, grease
may come out of the gearbox, but because there is too
much grease, there is no cause for alarm. Clean only
with the battery removed.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the battery from the cordless hedge trimmer
before performing any checking, maintenance or
cleaning work.
The hedge trimmer does not require any additional
lubrication or maintenance. However, regular cleaning
should be carried out to ensure continuous, trouble-
free operation.

Blame

Check the blade and screws in search for gaps, breaks
or other damage.
Check the cutting edges and sharpen with a flat file.
Caution:
▪ Keep the final edge sharp;
▪ Round the final root;
▪ Do not use water when sharpening.
You do not need to adjust the gap between the upper
and lower blade as this machine is designed to have a
correct gap.
When assembling the blade, be sure to tighten the
spacer, washer and screw, then tighten the nut.
