height, we recommend tying a guide line of
string or similar along the hedge. Cut off all
branches that protrude beyond the guide line
(see Fig. 11).
Warning! Be particularly attentive when cutting
along the guide line. Do not cut through the guide
line. This could get entangled in the blades and
lead to injuries or damage to property.
Cuttings collector (Fig. 12-14)
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you
install the cuttings collector. This enables you to
remove the cuttings easily and keep the top of
the hedge clear (Fig. 12/13). Position the cuttings
collector (item 9) on the cutter rail (Fig. 14). Then
slide the cuttings collector toward the tip of the
cutter rail to clamp it fi rmly under the retaining pin
(Fig. 14 / item 1a).

Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure

the risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
7.2 Maintenance

There are no other parts inside the equipment
that require maintenance.
•
Double blades are not allowed to be used
if they are damaged or worn and must be
replaced by original spare parts from the ma-

Arrange for an expert or our service workshop
to carry out all safety-related maintenance
work and the replacement of defective parts
or the sharpening or replacement of the dou-
ble blade, so that you can be sure that the
hedge trimmer is safe to use.
