• Please also observe the precautionary
measures to protect against kickback
(see the safety information).
• Remove branches hanging downwards
by sawing from the top of the branch.
• Twisted branches must be individually
cut down to size.
Working using the thread
spool
•
In small grass areas hold the device at
an angle of about 30° and swing the
cutting head evenly to the right and
left with a semi-circular movement.
•
The best results are obtained with a
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the
grass is taller, it is recommended to
mow several times.
•
To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, slowly move the de-
vice around the obstacle and cut with
the thread ends.
•
Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles
(rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The
thread would wear out quickly. Use the
edge of the protective cover to keep
the device at the correct distance.
Attention! Do not lay the
cutting head on the ground
during operation!
Working with the 3-tooth
blade

thing when working with the

Only use the blade to work on
open, even areas. Carefully inspect
the area to be cut and remove all
foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones,
metal or other obstacles. The blade
can be damaged and there is a risk
of kickback by the machine.
• When working, hold the cutter above the
ground and slowly swivel the device back
and forth like a scythe in an equal arch.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild
growth or brushwood.
• Regularly check the blades for damage
and replace as needed.

Cutting techniques using the
hedge trimmer
•
Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
•
The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swing-
ing 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.
