6 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (06)
WARNING! Increased risk of falling.
There is a greater risk of falling if work is carried
out from an elevated position (e.g. ladder).
■
always work with the appliance from the
ground and make sure that you are standing
securely.
■
Heed the safety instructions.
■
Cut the hedge regularly and only at the per-
mitted times.
■
Only cut off the thin branches and new
growth on the surface of the hedge; do not
cut too deep.
■
Always cut the two sides of a hedge first, fol-
lowed by the top. This prevents cut material
from falling into areas that you have not yet
trimmed.
■
Hedges should always be trimmed into a
trapezoidal shape (tapering toward the top).
This prevents the leaves on the lower
branches from being shaded out (06).
