9. Operation
The hedge trimmer is equipped with high-quality
blades. The cutting teeth move back and forth linear-
ly during the cutting process. The impact protection at
the tip of the cutter bar prevents unpleasant kickbacks
when coming into contact with walls, fences, etc. To
protect the user, the product has a two-hand safety
switch and a quick-stop brake function. The hand guard
also protects against branches and twigs.
