Tips and advice

See Fig. 6A

• Swing the cutter bar in an arc towards the outside of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept to the ground.

See Fig. 6B

• Cutting without standing directly next to the hedge, e.g. flowerbed between operator and hedge. Swing thecutter bar up and down in an arc as you move along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blades.

See Fig. 6C

• Extra long reach without the need for other aids. Swing the cutter bar up and down in an arc as you move along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blades.

See Fig. 6D

• Cutting close to the ground from a standing position, e.g. low shrubs. Swing the cutter bar back and forth in an arc as you move along – use both sides of the cutting blades.
  The hedge trimmer is not suitable for cutting grass!

See Fig. 6E

• Hold the pole hedge trimmer vertically and swing the cutter bar in an arc to make maximum use of its reach in height.

Maintenance

• Before any service and maintenance are done, the power must be disconnected, which means the battery is 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.
