machine.
9.3 Cutting hedge
Before you start your work, select branches with a diameter not bigger than 18mm and cut them
with a pruning shear. A trapezoidal cut corresponds to the natural, growth of plants and results
in optimal hedge growing.
▪ First cut the sides from the bottom to the top. Cut the upper part giving it the shape you
prefer, in a straight horizontal form, roof-like or rounded.
▪ The safety blade has laterally rounded and staggered cutting teeth to reduce danger of
injury. The additional shock protection avoids inconvenient kickback when the blades
come into contact with walls, fences etc.
▪ Caution! Metal obstacles like fences etc. may damaged the cutting blades.
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
▪ Check your machine regularly before starting the work.
▪ Damaged cutting blades have to be repaired or exchanged by a qualified service man
