Function Description
The cordless hedge trimmer features a high-
quality knife made from special lasercut
steel. When trimming, the cutting teeth
move to and fro in a linear shearing mo-
tion. The strike guard at the tip of the knife
prevents unpleasant kickback reactions
when hitting walls, fences, etc. Operators
are protected by the appliance’s two-hand
safety switch and quick-stop brake function.
The hand protection guards your hands
against twigs and branches. Read the sec-
tions below to learn more about each oper-
ating element’s function.
