Cutting the hedge
WARNING!
Before using this hedge trimmer, make sure that you have
read all of the safety instructions.
When operating the unit, check for the following:
- Wear eye protection and appropriate clothing (PPE).
- Hold the front handle with one hand and the rear handle with
the other hand.
1. When trimming, the blade should be tilted towards the hedge.
Always trim from the bottom upwards.
2. Trim the sides of the hedge first and then trim the top.
3. If the branches are very long, they should be cut back in several
stages.
4. Make sure that there are no hard objects in the hedge, such as
railings, that could damage the blade.
5. If the blade becomes jammed, switch it off and remove the
battery pack before clearing the obstruction.
6. Do not force the hedge trimmer to cut oversized branches.
These should be cut by hand using secateurs or shears.
Note: Evergreen hedges and shrubs that retain their leaves in the
winter, should be trimmed in April and August. Conifers and other
fast-growing shrubs can be trimmed every six weeks throughout
the growing season.
