• Change position regularly while op-
erating the device. Prolonged use of
the device can lead to blood circula-
tion disorders in the hands caused
by vibration. You can however extend
your machine use time by wearing
appropriate safety gloves or by tak-
ing regular breaks. Please note that a
personal disposition to poor blood cir-
culation, low outside temperatures, or
strong grip forces while working may
reduce your work capabilities.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using
a branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting 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.
Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges
be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in
order to prevent stripping off of the
lower branches. This corresponds
to the natural plant growth and al-
lows the hedge to thrive optimally.
During cutting, only the new an-
nual growths are reduced and thus
a dense branching and a good
screen will develop.

1. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the
direction of growth from bottom to
top. If you cut down from the top, the
thinner branches will move out, which
may result in some areas having
sparse growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a
flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped
when cut, although they must be regularly
maintained so the hedge does not be-
come too high.
