Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using
a branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swinging
action, from one side to the other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move
the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped
movement to the edge of the hedge,
so that cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines,
the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.
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
corresponds 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 trim-
mer in the direction of growth
from bottom to top. If you cut
down from the top, the thinner
branches will move out, which
may result in some areas hav-
ing 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 re-
quired shape. The main growth
should remain 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 be-
come too high.

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 car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment.
Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. These could cause irrep-
arable damage to the equipment.
Chemical substances can attack
the plastic parts of 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
trimmer for obvious defects such as
loose, worn or damaged parts. Check
the secure 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
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do
