Cutting hedges (only shrub shear) (see figures
D, G and H)
Make sure that the product is switched off when removing
u
cut-off material or during maintenance. Unintentional
switching on may cause serious injury.
Before cutting, check the hedge/shrub for foreign objects
e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting, move the
product steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed
directly into the cutter blades. The double edge of the cut-
ting blade enables cutting to either direction, or with a side
to side motion.
After use, mount the blade guard.
