Working Advice
Hold the garden product away from your-
self. Stand in a secure and stable position.

Anti Blocking (shrub shear only)
The garden product has a patented feature
which works as follows:
If the blade stalls on a tough material, the load
of the motor increases. The intelligent micro-
electronics senses this overload condition and
repeatedly reverses the motor, in order to pre-
vent stalling and to cut the material through.
This audible reversing cut action continues for
up to 3 s.
After cutting through, the garden product con-
tinues in its normal mode, or in case the over-
load condition continues the blades automati-

cally stop in the open position (e. g. in case a
piece of metal fence accidentally blocks the gar-
den product).
Cutting Hedges (shrub shear only)
Before cutting check the hedge for foreign ob-
jects e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cut-
ting, move steadily along the line of cut, so that
stems are fed directly into the cutter blades.
The double edge of the cutting blade enables
cutting to either direction, or with a side to side
motion.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Recommended times
– Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June
and October.
– Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
– Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs ap-
prox. every six weeks from May onwards.

Guide the garden product along the edge of the
lawn. Do not allow the blade to contact paved

surfaces, stones or garden walls, since this will

wear the blade rapidly.
≤5%
For larger lawn it is advisable to use the pole
cart (available as an accessory or supplier with
"grass shear & pole cart" set).
After use replace the blade transport guard.
