Hints for your work with the tool
The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and light
undergrowth or bushes. The device is also well-suited for
ornamental cuts as, for example, for the care of graves.
The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or
hardly accessible lawn areas.
As the device is operated with one hand
please be careful not to move the other hand
near the running cutting tools.
Trimming hedges
• Move the cutting tool slightly forward on the cutting
line and pay attention to the shape of the hedge or
shrubbery. The cutting tool inclined slightly downward
provides the best cutting result.
• Try not to proceed too quickly and to cut with one
stroke of the blade.
• First cut on both sides from bottom to top. This meas-
ure prevents the cuttings from falling into the area that
must still be cut.
Cutting grass
• When cutting grass do not bend over or work in a
stooped position for too long. If stooping or bending
over is unavoidable, stand up straight from time to
time and throw your shoulders back several times.
• Proceed with particular care when working near trees
and bushes. The cutting blade can injure sensitive
bark and damage fence posts.
• Do not move the device too quickly, this results in poor
cutting performance and may damage the device.
• If the grass is quite high, cut it several times in suc-
cession from top to bottom.
• When cutting, hold the cutting tool at an angle of ap-
prox 10°. Avoid touching the ground, this can destroy
the lawn and damage the device.
Maintenance
(Fig.7)
Clean the blade from any crushed plants and dirt. The
blades should be detached at least once a season for
the removal of debris. Lubricate the A pinion and the B
back of the blade with a light oil. Do not lubricate the mo-
tor and other parts. Should the blade become dull after a
long period of use, a spare part can be ordered.
Warning! The leading edges of the blades must be oiled
to ensure proper lubrication. If the leading edges are not
oiled, blade durability may be adversely affected.
If the cutting tools have become dull after long use
please replace them with original spare parts.
Clean the device using only a brush or cloth. Do never
wash down the device with water and do never dip the
device into water.
Apply protective spray to the blades after each use.
Replace blunt blades.
Always put on the blade guard after use.
Examine the tool for obvious defects and have it repaired
in an authorised service shop if required.

connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In

Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling ma-
nagement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without elec-
trical components accompanying the waste equipment.
