• When using metal cutting tools, there is always
a risk of kick-back if the tool hits a solid obstacle
(stones, trees, branches, etc.). The device is thrown
back against the direction of rotation.
• With wild growth and undergrowth, "plunge" the
brush cutter (13) from above. This chops the ma-
terial to be cut.
• Attention! The cutting blade (15) is still running! Do
not stop the cutting blade (15) with your hand.
• Keep the cutting blade (15) / cutting unit of the
brush cutter (13) away from feet.
ATTENTION:
Use this work technique with particular care. The
greater the distance between the cutting tool and the
ground, the greater the danger that the material to be
cut and foreign objects will be thrown to the side.
11.1.2 Mowing with a lawn trimmer
• Use the thread coil (16) to get a clean cut even on
uneven edges, fence posts, and trees.
• Carefully guide the trimming thread up to an obsta-
cle and cut around the obstacle with the tip of the
thread. If the trimming thread comes into contact
with stones, trees or walls, the thread will fray pre-
maturely or break.
• Never replace the plastic thread with a metal wire -
danger of injury!
11.1.2.1 Trimming thread automatic mode (Fig. 17)
• The grass trimmer is supplied with a filled thread
coil (16).
• This line will wear out during work.
• So that new thread is fed in, press the trigger (16a)
on the thread coil (16) firmly on the floor with the
motor running.
• The thread is automatically released by centrifugal
force. The line is cut to the correct length by the
cutting blade on the shield (14a).
11.2 Working with the hedge trimmer (17)
• The hedge trimmer is suitable for cutting hedges,
bushes and shrubs.
• Hold the hedge trimmer at a safe distance away
from your body with two hands.
• The maximum cutting diameter depends on the
type of wood, the age, the moisture content and the
hardness of the wood.
• Therefore, shorten very thick branches to the ap-
propriate length with pruning shears before trim-
ming the hedge.
• Thanks to the its double-sided blade, the hedge
trimmer can be moved forward and backward or
from one side to the other swinging it back and
forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top
edge.
• Cut hedges from bottom to the top.

• Cut the hedge in a trapezoidal shape. This prevents
the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to
insufficient light.
• If you want to trim the top edge of the hedge evenly,
stretch a guideline across the length of the hedge.
• Prune in several passes if heavy pruning is nec-
essary.
• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the
hedges (e.g. wire), since they may damage the
blade of the hedge trimmer.
• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop
the blades with your hand.
The right time to cut:
• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from
May
Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the
hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.
11.2.1 Angle adjustment
The hedge trimmer (17) can be adjusted to the work-
ing conditions by swivelling the blade head from +90°
to -75°. (Fig. 19 and 20).
• Attention! Only adjust with the engine switched
off!
• Press both unlocking levers and adjust the blade
head into the required position. (Fig. 19 and 20)
• To do this, use the adjustment lever (18).
• Release both unlocking levers until they engage
into the toothing.
• Before commissioning, check that the unlocking le-
vers are properly engaged.
Attention!
The blade head with the cutting unit (19) must not be
completely swivelled backwards parallel to the arm of
the hedge trimmer (17)! Do not work with this setting
under any circumstances! This position is only used
as a transport position.
Before starting work, oil the blades and the angle ad-
justment with environmentally friendly lubricating oil.
Also oil the blade regularly while working.
Attention!
Only oil with the engine switched off!
Attention!
Incorrect use and misuse can damage the hedge
trimmer and cause severe injuries due to thrown out
parts.
To reduce the risk of accidents with the hedge trim-
mer, please note the following points:
• Never cut shrubs or timbers with a diameter of
more than 2cm.
• Avoid contact with metal objects, stones, etc.
