Working Advice
When cutting hedges always start with the sides first, working
from the bottom upwards in a radial movement followed by
the top. If hedge is deep ensure cutting is carried out in stag-
es.
Never attempt to remove material from the blades while the
battery is inserted and do not hold material to be cut. Switch
off and remove the battery from the machine whenever clear-
ing jammed material. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury.
Take extra care when cutting above shoulder height.
Caution! Base plate may become hot during operation.
Wait until the blades have come to a standstill before placing
down the hedge trimmer.
Your machine is fitted with an electronic device, which will
minimise the risk of the blade jamming in heavy cutting condi-
tions. This will allow easy removal of the machine from the
hedge. Restart the machine by the on/off switch.
