Trimming Techniques
The hedge trimmer features a 60 cm cutting blade and a 26 mm tooth spacing, allowing for efficient trimming of various hedge types. For best results, use a sweeping motion, moving the blade along the hedge. Maintain a slight angle to ensure clean cuts. The double-blade design helps reduce vibrations for smoother operation.

One-Touch Reverse Function
If the blades become jammed by a thick branch, the hedge trimmer features a one-touch reverse function. With the dual safety switch engaged, press the designated wake-up button. The blades will reverse direction, helping to clear the obstruction and allow you to continue trimming without interruption.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hedge trimmer.
- Blade Care: After each use, clean the blades of sap and debris using a stiff brush and a suitable cleaning agent. Lightly oil the blades to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the blades for sharpness and sharpen or replace them as needed.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
- Brushless Motor: The hedge trimmer is equipped with a brushless motor, which offers significantly longer lifespan and requires minimal maintenance compared to brushed motors. No carbon brush replacement is needed.
- General Cleaning: Keep the tool's housing clean and free of dirt. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
