Cutting Hedges (shrub shear only)
Before cutting check the hedge for foreign ob-
jects e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cut-
ting, move steadily along the line of cut, so that
stems are fed directly into the cutter blades.
The double edge of the cutting blade enables
cutting to either direction, or with a side to side
motion.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Recommended times
– Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June
and October.
– Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
– Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs ap-
prox. every six weeks from May onwards.
Edging (grass shear only) (see figure D)
Guide the garden product along the edge of the
lawn. Do not allow the blade to contact paved
surfaces, stones or garden walls, since this will
wear the blade rapidly.
For larger lawn it is advisable to use the pole
cart (available as an accessory or supplier with
"grass shear & pole cart" set).
After use replace the blade transport guard.
