height, we recommend tying a guide line of
string or similar along the hedge. Cut off all
branches that protrude beyond the guide line
(see Fig. 11).
Warning! Be particularly attentive when cutting
along the guide line. Do not cut through the guide
line. This could get entangled in the blades and
lead to injuries or damage to property.
Cuttings collector (Fig. 12-14)
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you
install the cuttings collector. This enables you to
remove the cuttings easily and keep the top of
the hedge clear (Fig. 12/13). Position the cuttings
collector (item 9) on the cutter rail (Fig. 14). Then
slide the cuttings collector toward the tip of the
cutter rail to clamp it fi rmly under the retaining pin
(Fig. 14 / item 1a).

ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Before putting the hedge trimmer away and
cleaning it, switch it off and remove the battery
pack.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
GB
the risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
7.2 Maintenance
•
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated
at regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits
with a brush and apply a thin film of oil (Fig.
16).
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
that require maintenance.
•
Double blades are not allowed to be used
if they are damaged or worn and must be
replaced by original spare parts from the ma-
nufacturer.
•
Arrange for an expert or our service workshop
to carry out all safety-related maintenance
work and the replacement of defective parts
or the sharpening or replacement of the dou-
ble blade, so that you can be sure that the
hedge trimmer is safe to use.
7.3 Storage

When not in use the hedge trimmer can be
hung on a nail, screw or the like for storage,
with the cutter rail guard fitted (Fig. 17/Item.
