If persons who have blood circulation problems are too
often exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or
to blood vessels may occur.
You can reduce vibrations:
- by thick and warm working gloves,
- shorter working time (have longer breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers swell, you don't feel well or your
fingers become numb.

Scare animals off the hedge before starting to cut in
order to prevent them from being injured.
Due to its double sided knives the shrub shear can be guided
forward and backward or by oscillating movements from one to
another side.
The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type,
age, moisture and hardness.
Best time for hedge trimming:
⇒
Leaved hedge:
⇒
Conifer hedge:
Quickly growing hedge:

The cutting tool will not come to a standstill immediately after
cut-off. Before starting any service work wait until all parts are
stationary.
To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the shrub and grass
shear carry out the following maintenance works regularly.
Check the machine for obvious defects such as
− loose, hung out or damaged cutting tools
− worn or damaged components
correct assembly and faultless covers and protective de-
−
vices
Necessary repair works or maintenance works have to be
carried out before the usage of the machine.
C

Clean the machine thoroughly after each application
so that the faultless function is kept.
• Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
• Keep handles dry and free of oil and grease.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be ap-
plied.
• Check that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling are free
(risk of overheating).
• Clean the gear unit using a soft brush.
Lubricate the gear wheels using acid-free grease (petroleum
•
jelly).
