2. Cut the top edge, according to
taste, in a flat shape, roof shape
or rounded shape
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should
remain undamaged until the
hedge has reached the planned
height. All other shoots are
lopped off to half size.
Care.of.Free-Growing.Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.
Maintenance/Cleaning
Repair and servicing work not de-
scribed in this manual should always
be carried by our Service Centre
(see p.15). Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. These could cause irrepa-
rable damage to the equipment.
Chemical substances can attack the
plastic parts of the equipment.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the se-
cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar
( 2).
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices
( 1,3) for damage and correct seat-
ing. Replace these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots ( 5) and mo-
tor housing of the device clean. Use a
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not
wash down the equipment with water,
or submerge it in water.
Clean the cutter bar (2) carefully
after each use.
After using the equipment, it is im-
perative to:
- Clean the blade (with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft with an oil can
or spray.
Storage
• Keep the trimmer in the blade guard
( 10) supplied, in a dry place and
out of reach of children.
Waste Disposal and En-
vironmental Protection
Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool,
accessories and packaging to a recycling
centre when you have finished with them.
Electrical machines do not belong
in domestic waste.
Take the equipment to a waste disposal
site. The plastic and metal parts that are
used can be separated out into pure grade,
which allows recycling. Ask our Service
Centre for details (see p.15).
Defective units returned to us will be dis-
posed of for free.
