▪ Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
▪ Wear hearing protection.
▪ Recommend to use a residual current device with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.
▪ When cutting, make sure do not touch objects such as wire fences or plants frame-holder.
Doing so can damage the blade beam.

7.3 Cutting hedge
Before you start your work, select branches with a diameter bigger than 20mm 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.
▪ If the blades are jammed or blocked by obstacles, switch the motor off immediately, pull
the plug, and then remove the object jamming the blades.
▪ Caution! Metal obstacles like fences etc. may damaged the cutting blades.
▪ Always make sure to keep the extension cord behind your back and to start cutting the
hedge at the point nearest to the supply socked. Therefore plan your working direction
before staring.
