Take care to have a secure and safe standing posi-
tion when working with your hedge shears in order to
avoid slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing
blades away from your body.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the battery from the tool be-
fore commencing any work on the machine.

Important: Always clean and oil the blades after pro-
longed use of the hedge trimmer. This will greatly affect
the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units must be
properly repaired immediately. Clean the shearing blades
with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt – with a brush.
Attention: Danger of injury! Oiling of the blades should
ideally be carried out using an environmentally friendly
standard lubricant (Fig. 11). Make sure the unit is not run-
ning during the cleaning process.
Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do not
require resharpening if used correctly. In order to prevent
injuries caused by the blades when not in use, the sharp-
ened cutting blade should be covered by the blade cover
(Fig. 12). The blades cannot be sharpened by the user
without opening the equipment and the safety mechanism.
Resharpening of the blades can therefore only be carried
out at a specialist workshop.

Changing the blades
Only correct installation of the blades will guarantee
problem-free operation and function of the above men-
tioned safety feature of the blades. Changing of the
blades should therefore only be carried out at a specialist
workshop.
OPTIMUM SAFETY
The 5 special features two-hand safety switch, quick
blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail and im-
pact protector are tted to provide the hedge trimmer
with optimum safety features.
Attention!
If you nd out that safety functions, such as the
2-switch mechanism or the safety stop, are not
functioning while working with the hedge trim-
mer, immediately cease working and take the
machine to a specialized shop for repairing.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 4)
To switch the hedge trimmer on the bar switch in the
handle (A) must be pushed and the rotary switch of the
handle (B) must be rotated by 45° backward. To switch the
device off let go of both switches. The motor already stops
if one of the two switches is released.
