Working Technique
Vertical Cut
Swing the cutting blade from the bottom
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the
blade, move along the hedge and then
swing the blade up again in an arc.
Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of
accidents, work in such positions for
short periods only.

Horizontal Cut
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to
10° as you swing the hedge trimmer
horizontally.
Swing the cutting blade in an arc
towards the outside of the hedge so that
the cuttings are swept to the ground.
Cuttings can be easily swept off the
hedge with the aid of the optional
catcher plate on the cutting blade.

The engine requires a mixture of
gasoline and engine oil.
WARNING
Avoid direct skin contact with and
breathing in of gasoline fumes.

Unsuitable fuels or a mixing ratio that
deviates from the specification can lead
to severe engine damage. The engine,
seals, fuel lines and fuel tank may be
damaged if poor quality gasoline or
engine oil is used.

Use only high-quality gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 90 ROC –
leaded or unleaded.
