7. Working with the hedge trimmer mounting kit
•
Check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed cutters ro-
tate in opposite directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor-
mance and smooth operation.
•
Take care to maintain a steady foothold and hold the equipment
firmly in both hands away from your body. Before you switch on,
make sure that the equipment is not touching any objects.

Work practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and bushes as well as
hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the hedge trimmer so that
the cutter teeth are at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Fig. 17).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enab-
ling cutting in both directions (see Fig. 18).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like along the
hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level height. Cut off all bran-
ches which protrude beyond the guide line (see Fig. 19/20).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped movements from
the bottom up (see Fig. 21).
