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
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre (see p.89 for address). Use
only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge
trimmer for obvious defects such as
loose, worn or damaged parts. Check
the secure seating of the bolts in the
cutter bar.
• 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 for
damage and correct seating. Replace
these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots and motor
housing of the device clean. Use a damp
cloth or a brush to do this. Do not wash
down the equipment with water, or sub-
merge it in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
• Clean the cutter bar carefully after
each use. Wipe it off with an oily cloth
or spray it with a metal protective
spray.
• Keep the hedge trimmer dry and cov-
ered with the blade protection supplied
and out of reach of children.
Storage
• Keep the trimmer in the blade guard sup-
plied, in a dry place and out of reach of
children.
