the hedge trimmer horizontally. Sweep the cutter bar in an arc towards the outside of the
hedge so that the cuttings are swept onto the ground.

Pay special attention when cutting hedges which are laid out along a wire fence. If the
blades make contact with the wire damage may occur.

of
time - take a break of 10-15 mins after
every
50 mins
of
use or after using one tank of fuel.

damage
to the blades
immediately. Replace any damaged blades before continuing.
