Switching on and off

Switching on

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

front handle switch (2) is pushed into the body of the tool.

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

the tool.

Switching off

 Release the handle switch (2) or the trigger switch (1).

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

Hints for optimum use

 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 (ﬁg. C1). This will cause

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

desired angle and move it steadily along the line of cut.

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

 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.

 In order to obtain ﬂat sides, cut upwards with the growth.

Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts

downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge (ﬁg. C2).

 Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid

hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these

could damage the blades.

 Regularly oil the blades.

Guidelines for trimming (UK & Ireland)

 Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in June and October.

 Trim evergreens in April and August.

 Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six weeks

from May until October.

Guidelines for trimming (Australia & New Zealand)

 Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in December and March.

 Trim evergreens in September and February.

 Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from October until March.

Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and

 After use, carefully clean the blades. After cleaning, apply

a ﬁlm of light machine oil to prevent the blades from rusting.
