Hints on trimming hedges

If a hedge has to be cut back very substantially, trim the
hedge in two passes.
First cut the hedge to the desired height and stretch a string
along the hedge at the desired height. Guide the blades of
the hedge trimmer at an angle of 10 – 15° to the hedge in
order to get a straight cut.
Trim the hedge to a trapezoidal shape cutting from the
bottom to the top.
Round the top edges of the hedge.
Finally trim the bottom edges back.
Appropriately dispose of cut materials.

Maintenance and Cleaning

When cleaning or maintaining the hedge trimmer, first remove the battery
from the unit.
Always keep the ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If
necessary, clean the ventilation slots with a soft paint brush.
Oil the blade after cleaning and before using the hedge trimmer again.
Remove dirt from the blades with a scrubbing brush or a small brush.
Do not clean the housing with sharp detergents or aggressive chemicals in
order not to damage the surfaces. Use only a lightly moistened cloth for
cleaning. Clean the ventilation slots with a soft brush.
Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, dust-free and frost-protected place.
