5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 Assembly
Fig. 17: Slide the steady grip (item 3) up to the
steady grip mounting (item 7) over the cutter rail
(item 1).
Fig. 18/7: Press the steady grip (item 3) carefully
into the steady grip mounting (Fig. 18/item 7) until
it is fl ush with the motor housing. Then use the
enclosed screws (Fig. 7/item 12) to fi x the steady
grip.
5.2 Fitting the cuttings collector (Figure 4-6).
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you
install the cuttings collector. This enables you
to remove the cuttings easily. The surface of the
hedge thus remains clear (Fig. 4/5). Position the
cuttings collector (8) on the cutter rail (Fig. 6).
Then push the cuttings collector towards the
handle to clamp it securely under the retaining
pins (Fig. 6/Item 11).
5.3 Installing the battery (Fig. 8)
Press the pushlock button (Fig. 9/Item 15) of the
rechargeable battery (14) as shown in Fig. 8 and
push the battery into the battery mount provided.
Make sure that the pushlock button engages
properly. To remove the battery pack, proceed in
reverse order.

6. Operation
6.1 Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. It works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Fig. 10/Item 5) is
pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Fig. 8/Item 6) is pressed with the other
hand. If either switch is released, the cutters will
stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters as
they slow down to a standstill.
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 Figure 11).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both
directions (see Figure 12).
•
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
Figure 13).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
14).
What to do if the blade gets blocked
1. Stop the equipment.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the jammed material from the blade
(wear work gloves to prevent injury when you
do so).
After using
1. Switch off the equipment.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Allow the equipment to cool down and then
store it out of children's reach.
