m WARNING!
The hedge trimmer must not be used or switched

For your own safety, please thoroughly read this
manual and the general safety instructions be-
fore turning the device on. If you give the device

NOTICES AND TIPS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER,
Fig. 6
• The extension cable must be kept behind the hedge
trimmer when cutting so that it cannot be caught by
the knives.
• Find safe footing, operate the device with both
hands and turn it on.
• Cut the hedge from both sides and start at the bot-
tom. In this way, you can prevent cutting-waste fall-
ing into the area that still needs to be cut.
• Guide the device gently through the area of the
hedge.
• Do not attempt to cut too deeply.
• Then cut the upper part of the hedge.
• For older hedges which need more pruning, cut
stronger branches and twigs with loppers first be-
fore cutting the hedge with the device.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of
the hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the
knives of the hedge trimmer.
• Caution! The cutting tool stops delayed after the
machine is switched off. Do not try to slow down the
cutting tool by the hand.
CAUTION:
Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush cutter
and cause severe injuries because of pieces hurled
away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting
blade, take note of following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is
larger than 1,8 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages.
Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt,
it must be sharpened according to instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of bal-
ance, it must be replaced.
