WORKING INSTRUCTIONS:
•
While cutting, make sure that you do
not touch any objects such as wire
fences or plant supports. This can
cause damage to the cutter bar.
•
If the blades become jammed with
solid objects, turn the device off im-
mediately and remove the object.
•
Do not cut with blunt or worn blades,
as otherwise you will overload the
motor and gears of your machine.
•
Carry the device with the cutting unit
facing backwards. Attach the blade
guard during transport.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES

Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
•
The double-sided cutter bar enables
cutting in both directions or, with a
swinging 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
movement 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.
