8. Practical tips

The hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
b
and bushes as well as hedges.
For the best performance, hold the hedge trim-
b
mer with its teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to
the hedge (see Figure 5).
Cutting in both directions is possible with the
b
counter-rotating dual-edge blades (see Figure 6).
To trim your hedge to a uniform height, run a
b
length of string along the hedge for guidance and
cut off the projecting branches (see Figure 7).
Cut the sides of the hedge with sweeping move-
b
ments from the bottom up (see Figure 8).

9. Maintenance and cleaning

b Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its
power plug before you put it down and clean it.
For the best cutting performance at all times,
b
clean and lubricate the blades ate regular inter-
vals. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a
thin film of oil (see Figure 9).
Use bio-degradable oils.
b Clean the plastic housing and parts with a mild
household detergent and a damp cloth. Never
use aggressive agents or solvents.
Be particularly careful not to allow any water to
b
get inside the machine.
The supplied storage case can be fastened to the
b
wall. This is the best place to store your hedge
trimmer.
10. Troubleshooting
The trimmer does not work: Check whether the
b
power cable is correctly connected and examine
the power supply fuses. If the power supply is OK
and the trimmer still does not work, please send
the trimmer to the customer service address
listed in these instructions.
11. Disposal
Important!
The hedge trimmer and its accessories are made of
an assortment of materials, e.g. metal and plastics.
Defective components must be disposed of as speci-
al waste. Ask your dealer or local authority.
