Use

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

Switching on and off

Note: For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double

switching system. This system prevents starting the tool

inadvertently and will only allow operation while holding the

tool with both hands.

Switching on (g. B)

u Take hold of the front handle (3) with one hand so that the

front handle bail arm (2) is pushed into the body of the

front handle.

u With the other hand, squeeze the trigger switch (1) to start

the tool.

Switching off

u Release the handle bail arm (2) or the trigger switch (1).

Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.

Hints for optimum use

u Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the tool

(up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade tips

point slightly towards the hedge (g. C). This will cause

the blades to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the de-

sired angle and move it steadily along the line of cut. The

double-sided blade allows you to cut in either direction.

u In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of

string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.

Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it. (g. D)

u In order to obtain at sides, cut upwards with the growth.

Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts

downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge (g. E).

u Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid

hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these

could damage the blades (g. F).

u Regularly oil the blades.

Guidelines for trimming

u Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in June and October.

u Trim evergreens in April and August.

u Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from May until October.

Guidelines for trimming (Australia & New Zealand)

u Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in December and March.

u Trim evergreens in September and February.

u Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from October until March.
