USER‘S MANUALELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER
ENHedge trimming | Storage | Maintenance
The safety blade has rounded and stepped teeth on the sides which reduce the risk of injury
when working with the tool. Additional protection against impact prevents undesirable back
blow in case of accidental contact of the blade with wall, fence, etc.
If the blades get jammed or blocked by a foreign object, turn off the motor immediately,
unplug the tool from the mains and remove the object from the blades.
Caution: If the blades get into contact with metal objects, e.g. fence, the blades may be
damaged.
When cutting, make sure to keep the power cord safely behind you. Always start trimming
the hedge at a point nearest to the power socket and continue trimming further on. You
should therefore plan the cutting direction before starting hedge trimming.

10. HEDGE TRIMMING
Before hedge trimming, locate branches with diameter greater than 20 mm and cut them off
using the pruning shears.
Trapezoidal cut corresponds to natural growth of plants and contributes to optimal hedge
growth.
First trim the hedge sides from bottom-up. Now trim the upper part to form the desired shape;
you may select straight cut, roof-shaped cut or round cut.
