6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. The machine works only
when the switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 /
Item 3) is pressed with one hand and the switch
on the handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with
the other hand. If either switch is released, the
cutters will stop moving. Please watch out for the
cutters as they slow down to a standstill.
Notes on working 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 Figure 5).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both
directions (see Figure 6).
•
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 branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 7).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
8).

7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
Remove deposits from the cutter guard with
a brush.
7.2 Maintenance
•
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated
at regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits
with a brush and apply a thin film of machine
oil (Figure 9).
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
•
For storage, the hedge trimmer can be hung
up on a nail, screw or similar in a borehole
on the impact guard, without the cutter guard
mounted (Fig. 10).
8. Disposal and recycling
The equipment is supplied in packaging to
prevent it from being damaged in transit. The
raw materials in this packaging can be reused or
recycled. The equipment and its accessories are
made of various types of material, such as metal
and plastic. Never place defective equipment in
your household refuse. The equipment should
be taken to a suitable collection center for proper
disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of
such a collection point, you should ask in your
local council offi ces.
