METABO IS SIMPLY A CUT ABOVE THE REST.
Once again Metabo are setting new standards in hedge trimming.
In order to meet the varying demands of the hedge trimmer mar-
ket we have divided our new models into three classes – a top,
middle and standard class. The top class boasts a world first with
its toolless "Quick" blade change system. The middle class incor-
porates the patented Metabo handle which increases the cutting
reach by up to 50% compared to conventional designs (as does the top class). Where as the standard class provides a compact light
weight solution, while still retaining some the features and bene-
fits of the upper classes. In essence Metabo hedge trimmers stand
out in all three classes by virtue of their performance, ergonomics
and innovation. Robust motors, laser cut diamond-ground blades
and excellent features are just some of the reasons why they are
the first choice for many professionals the world over.
The patented Metabo handle
system (top & middle class)
offers 50% more reach by means
of an extra switch on the back
handle. You can reach higher
without having to abandon the
safe two-hand operation. Safety lower blade
The 8-mm safety zone of the lower
blade makes cutting even safer. Safe two-hand operation and patented
mechanical quick braking
This kicks in when one of the two hand
switches are not depressed. This makes
it virtually impossible for you to accidentally
reach into the blade while it is running.
Cable service port
(top & middle class)
Easy to service! Thanks to this
the mains cable can be replaced
effortlessly by a qualified electrician.
This results in less downtime,
lower service costs and ultimately
greater productivity.
Patented Metabo
handle system
(top & middle class)
This offers 50% more
reach by means of an
extra switch at the very
end of the handle.The
safe two-hand ope-
ration rule remains.
Metabo S-automatic safety clutch
This protects the user and machine if
the blade is jammed by a foreign
body such as a wire. As a result the
service life of the machine is consi-
derably increased, while risk of injury
to the user is significantly reduced.
Laser cut diamond ground
blade
For perfect, quick, clean cuts and
noticeably longer tool life, even
with vigorous continuous use.
Metabo Quick blade
change (top class)
Via a simple locking
screw you can
replace the blade
with a few twists of
the wrist.
Carbon brush service port
(top class)
Easy to service! Thanks to
this the carbon brushes can
be replaced effortlessly by
a qualified electrician. This
results in less downtime,
lower service costs and ulti-
mately greater productivity. Trigger guard
The extra large
guard prevents
backstrokes when
working on
walls, tree trunks
or stones.
Cable stress-reliever
This protects the cable
connectors from being sub-
jectedto excessive strain via
the cable, prolonging life.
Optimized
air guiding
The discharged air is
directed downwards.
This prevents the
operator from getting
dust blown into their
eyes.
Quick stop blade brake (0.05 sec)
This kicks in when one of the two
hand switches are not depressed.
This makes it virtually impossible
for you to accidentally reach into
the blade while it is running.
