NOTICES AND TIPS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER, Fig. 6
• The extension cable must be kept behind the hedge
trimmer when cutting so that it cannot be caught by
the knives.
• Find safe footing, operate the device with both hands
and turn it on.
• Cut the hedge from both sides and start at the bottom.
In this way, you can prevent cutting-waste falling into
the area that still needs to be cut.
• Guide the device gently through the area of the hedge.
• Do not attempt to cut too deeply.
• Then cut the upper part of the hedge.
• For older hedges which need more pruning, cut strong-
er branches and twigs with loppers first before cutting
the hedge with the device.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of the
hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the knives of
the hedge trimmer.
• Caution! The cutting tool stops delayed after the ma-
chine is switched off. Do not try to slow down the cut-
ting tool by the hand.
