9. Holding the hedge trimmer when in use

This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and hedges easily and

comfortably.

Trimming of hedges

- Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement

- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a saw movement

- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer, should be cut with a saw

- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper,

In order to achieve an even height

- Fix a guide line at the required height

- Cut evenly over this guide line.

10. Optimum safety

With the 5 special features

The two-handed safety switch, quick blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail

and impact protector are fitted to provide the hedge trimmer with optimum safety

features.

Two-handed safety cut-out (Fig. 3)

To switch on the hedge trimmerthe switching bar in the handle (A) as well as the switch

in the top handle (B) must be depressed. As soon as one of the switches is released,

the trimmer blades will stop immediately.

Quick blade stop „

In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will stop in approx. 0.015 secs, when

one of the two switches is released.

Blade safety rail (Fig. 4)

The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduces the risk of injuries due to

unintentional body contact.

Impact protector (Fig. 4)

The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks (blade recoil) being transmitted to

the operator due to impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).

Gear protection feature

If solid objects are caught in the cutting blade and jam the motor, switch off the machine

at once, disconnect the power plug from the power socket, remove the object and

continue with the work.

The equipment is also fitted with an overload cut-out, which protects the gears against

mechanical damage in the event of blade jams.
