pleasant position, which makes it easier
for you to hold the hedge trimmer.
• If the blades become jammed with
solid objects, turn the device off im-
mediately, take out the rechargeable
battery, and remove the object.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.

Putting down the device

• Place the device on the ground with the

• The safety cutter bar (
placed on the ground without being
subjected to any pressure.
• Do not apply any static pressure what-
soever to the safety cutter bar (

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swing-
ing action, from one side to the other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move the
hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped move-
ment to the edge of the hedge, so that
cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines,
the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.

Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges be cut in
a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent
stripping off of the lower branches. This cor-
responds to the natural plant growth and
allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During
cutting, only the new annual growths are
reduced and thus a dense branching and a
good screen will develop.
1. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this,
move the hedge trimmer in the direction
of growth from bottom to top. If you cut
down from the top, the thinner branches
will move out, which may result in some
areas having sparse growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded
shape
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-

reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped
when cut, although they must be regularly
maintained so the hedge does not become
too high.

Working Safely

• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equipment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
