90°for better ergonomics in vertical cutting position.
7.3 Cutting hedge
Before you start your work, select branches with a diameter not bigger than 24mm and cut
them with a pruning shear. A trapezoidal cut corresponds to the natural, growth of plants and
results in optimal hedge growing.
 First cut the sides from the bottom to the top. Cut the upper part giving it the shape you
prefer, in a straight horizontal form, roof-like or rounded.
 The safety blade has laterally rounded and staggered cutting teeth to reduce danger of
injury. The additional shock protection avoids inconvenient kickback when the blades
come into contact with walls, fences etc.
 If the blades are jammed or blocked by obstacles, switch the motor off immediately, pull
the plug, and then remove the object jamming the blades.
 Caution! Metal obstacles like fences etc. may damaged the cutting blades.
 Always make sure to keep the extension cord behind your back and to start cutting the
hedge at the point nearest to the supply socked. Therefore plan your working direction
before staring.
