10 OPERATION
• Touch the blade carefully.
• Do not put your fingers into the notches or in position
where they can get cut.
• Do not touch the blade unless you remove the battery
pack.
• Do not use the machine if the blade is damaged or bent.
• Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string
which can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of personal injury.
WARNING
If the blade jams on an electrical cord or line, DO NOT
TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BE LIVE AND
DANGEROUS. Do the steps below:
1. Hold the insulated rear handle or put the machine down
and away from you.
2. Disconnect the electrically service to the damaged line
or cord before you try to free the blade.
10.1 START THE MACHINE

10.2 STOP THE MACHINE
1. Release the trigger to stop the machine.
10.3 OPERATION TIPS
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the
tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade
tips point slightly towards the hedge. This will cause the
blades to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the desired
angle and move it steadily along the line of cut. The
doublesided blade allows you to cut in either direction.
• In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of
string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.
Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it.
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth.
Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts
downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge.
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid
hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these
could damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.
WARNING
Keep hands away from blade while operating. Contact with
blade will result in serious personal injury.
