Working with the tool
During the cutting process, be careful not to touch
any objects such as wire fences or plant supports.
This can cause damage to the safety cutter bar.
If the blade is jammed by a fixed object, imme-
•
diately turn off the tool and remove the battery.
Then remove the object.
Avoid over-stressing the device whilst working.

Cutting techniques
Cut out thick branches with loppers before using
•
the hedge trimmer.
•
The double-sided safety cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or from one side to the
other using a pendulum movement.
When cutting vertically, evenly move the hedge
•
trimmer forwards or up and down in an arching
movement.
When cutting horizontally, move the battery-pow-
•
ered hedge trimmer in a sickle shape from the
edge of the hedge so that cut off branches can
fall to the ground.
In order to cut long straight lines, we recommend
•
setting up a string line.
Cutting established hedges:
In order to prevent lower branches from losing their
foliage, we recommend cutting hedges in a trape-
zium shape. This corresponds with the natural plant
growth and lets hedges prosper ideally.
When cutting, only the new shoots are reduced. This
means the branches grow thickly and form visual
protection.
•
Cut the sides of a hedge first. For this, move the
battery-powered hedge trimmer from the bot-
tom to the top in the direction of the growth. If
you cut from the top down, thinner branches will
move outwards, which may cause thinner areas
or gaps.
Then cut the top edge according to your require-
•
ments, straight, round or in the shape of a roof.
Start trimming young plants according to your
•
wishes. The main shoot should remain undam-
aged until the hedge has reached the planned
height. All other shoots will be trimmed to half
their height.
Cleaning/maintenance
Have repair and maintenance work, which is not
described in this operating manual, carried out by
our service centre. Only ever use original parts.
Turn the tool off and remove the battery before
any work.
Always wear gloves when handling the safety cutter
bar. This will prevent you from getting cut.
Regularly carry out the following cleaning and
maintenance work. This will guarantee long and re-
liable use.
