Tips and advices

Apart from hedges the hedge trimmer may also be used for cutting bushes.
The best cutting effect is achieved when holding the blade at an angle to the hedge of approx. 15°.

The opposite rotating knives cut on both sides, and it is therefore possible to trim the hedge in both directions.

The sides of the hedge are trimmed using curve shaped movements from the bottom and upwards.

The figure below shows how the hedge trimmer is used to get the optimal result.

Maintenance

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.

• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
• For obtaining the best cutting results the knives must be cleaned and oiled regularly. Remove dirt with a soft brush and oil lightly.
• Use biodegradable oil.
• Clean the housing and other parts with a mild cleanser and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

Storage

Store the hedge trimmer dry and unavailable for children. Keep the blade lubricated. Use the transport protection when the machine is stored.
