OPERATION TIPS
•
Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt
the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that
the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge. This
will cause the blades to cut more effectively. Hold
the tool at the desired angle and move it steadily
English
along the line of cut. The doublesided blade allows
you to cut in either direction.
•
In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece
of string along the length of the hedge at the desired
height. Use the string as a guideline, cutting just
above it.
•
In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the
growth. Younger stems move outwards when the
blade cuts downwards, causing shallow patches in
the hedge.
•
Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially
avoid hard objects such as metal wire and railings,
as these could damage the blades.
•
Regularly oil the blades.
Keep hands away from blade while operating. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
materials touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can
cause damage to the plastic, and make the plastic

Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
5.1
CLEAN THE MACHINE
Keep the machine and the motor free of leaves,
branches or excessive oil to prevent fire risks.

machine.
•
Clean all moisture with a soft dry cloth.
•
Use a small brush to clean the air vents.
5.2
LUBRICATE THE BLADE
To increase the efficiency and life of the blades,
lubricate them carefully after each work session:
•
Do not oil the blade while the hedge trimmer is
running.
•
Put the machine on a flat and smooth surface.
•
Use a soft cloth to clean the blades and a brush to
remove more dirt.
