Before carrying out any intervention 
on the appliance, always remove the 
plug from the electric socket.
Clean the hedge trimmer after each 
use and lubricate the blades with a 
thin layer of oil (Fig. 2). Should oil or 
grease come into contact with the 
plastic parts, clean them at once with 
a dry cloth, do not use solvents or 
other liquids.
Check that the leads are not dete-
riorated and store them together with 
the hedge trimmer in a dry place.
Do not dissemble any part of the 
hedge trimmer; if repairs are neces-
sary, take it to a repair shop authori-

sed by the manufacturers.
If it is necessary to replace parts, insist 
on original spare parts.

While trimming, always hold the hedge 
trimmer tightly with both hands so that 
the blades are away from the body. 
Always hold the hedge trimmer in front 
you. Pass the extension lead over your 
shoulder, making sure you keep it in 
this position during trimming. Keep the 
blades sideways on with respect to the 
direction of growth of the branches 
(Fig. 3). It is advisable to start cutting 
the hedge from the bottom, working 
up to the top. This guarantees foliage 
uniformity over time, giving the hedge 

a wider shape at the bottom than at 
the top.

Before switching on, it is a good idea 
to oil the blades.
Connect the extension lead to the 
hedge trimmer using the pull out 
cable stop, only when you reach 
where you will be working. To start up, 
pull one of the trigger switches under 
the rear grip and the lever switch inser-
ted into the front grip (Fig. 1).
As soon as the trigger switch or the front 
handgrip is released, the motor will stop 
automatically.
