10.5 Stopping the machine
▪ To switch the appliance off, release the switch trigger.
10.6 Working with the hedge trimmer
While cutting, make sure that you do not touch any objects, such as wire
fences or plant supports. This can cause damage to the cutter bar.
▪ To avoid eye injuries, always wear safety goggles while working with the hedge trimmer.
▪ Always hold the device tightly with both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the
other hand on the front round handle (A6). Your thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the
handles.
▪ Check the carrying harness (A 51B) for comfortable positioning which facilitates holding
the hedge trimmer.
▪ If the blades become jammed with solid objects, switch the device off immediately, pull the
mains plug, and remove the object.
▪ Avoid over-stressing the device while working.
10.7 Working with the chain saw
If the saw chain gets stuck, do not attempt to pull out the pruner with force.
There is a risk of injury. Turn the motor off and use a lever arm or wedge to
release the pruner.
▪ You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade
bar (saw chain in pulling direction) and not using the upper edge of the blade bar (saw
chain in pushing direction).
▪ The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the material
or thereafter.
▪ Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not break or
splinter.
▪ Please also observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (see the
safety information).
▪ Remove branches hanging downwards by sawing from the top of the branch.
▪ Twisted branches must be individually cut down to size.
10.8 Working using the thread spool
▪ In small grass areas hold the device at an angle of about 30° and swing the cutting head
evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.
▪ The best results are obtained with a maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is taller,
it is recommended to mow several times.
▪ To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, slowly move the device around the
obstacle and cut with the thread ends.
▪ Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles (rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The thread would
wear out quickly. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the device at the correct
distance.
Attention! Do not lay the cutting head on the ground during operation!
