Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges be cut in
a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent
stripping off of the lower branches. This cor-
responds to the natural plant growth and
allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During
cutting, only the new annual growths are
reduced and thus a dense branching and a
good screen will develop.
1. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the
direction of growth from bottom to top.
If you cut down from the top, the thin-
ner branches will move out, which may
result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a
flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped
when cut, although they must be regularly
maintained so the hedge does not become
too high.

Working Safely

• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equipment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
in the hands. However, the length of
use can be extended by using suitable
gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir-
culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.
Maintenance/
Cleaning
Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guaran-
tee a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the se-
cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar.
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices
for damage and correct seating. Re-
place these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots and motor
housing of the device clean. Use a
