Manual

Working technique

- Work only in good lighting and visibility.

- Never work on an unstable surface. Pay attention to

obstacles in the work area - risk of stumbling! Pay constant

attention to good footing.

- Never work while standing on a ladder.

- Do not bend too far over while working.

- Guide the trimmer away from your body, with the cutter

pointing away and at a safe distance from your body.

- Use the hedge trimmer

only for trimming hedges! Do not

use it for cutting grass or brash.

- Always keep the ventilation slots unobstructed, to ensure

proper cooling of the electric motor.

- Do not allow the cutter to touch the ground when running.

Foreign objects will damage the cutter and may lead to

injury.

- Do not use the trimmer to lift, lever, or sweep away cut

material or other objects.

- Cut thick branches to length with pruning shears before

trimming the hedge.

- Do not start working until you have made sure that:

a) No other persons or animals are within the working

area.

b) The trimmer operator can step back unhindered in the

event of an emergency.

c) The ground is free of all foreign objects, brush, and

branches. The operator must have a sure footing (risk

of stumbling).

Tips on trimming hedges

The procedure described here can be used very often and makes working easier. If a hedge has to be cut back very substantially,

it should be trimmed in two passes.

- First cut the hedge to the desired height (1). With practice,

it is possible to remove cut material from the hedge with a

swinging motion. To get a straight cut, stretch a string along

the hedge at the desired height.

- Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape (about 10 cm / 4" in

at the top for every 1 m / 3’3" of height), cutting from bottom

to top (2). In this way you avoid cut material falling down into

the area not yet cut.

- Round off the top edges of the hedge (3), and finally trim the

bottom edges back somewhat (4).

The best times to trim hedges are:

Broad-leaf hedges: June and October

Coniferous hedges: April and August

Fast-growing hedges: About every 6 weeks starting in May

Environmental protection information

Do not use the hedge trimmer during times when people are likely to be resting.

Before trimming a hedge, check to make sure that no birds are nesting in it. If they are, wait until the young have left the nest before

trimming near that part of the hedge.

Dispose of cut material in an environment-friendly way, or compost it.
