• 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.

Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment.
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
not wash down the equipment with
water, or submerge it in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
• Clean the cutter bar carefully after
each use. Wipe it off with an oily cloth
or spray it with a metal protective
spray.

Storage

• Keep the trimmer in the blade guard
supplied, in a dry place and out of
reach of children.
