Note: Residual current protection device
These safeguards provide protection against severe injuries
resulting from touching damaged cables, insulation defects
and in some cases cables that conduct electricity.
z We recommend that the equipment only be plugged into a power
socket, which is protected by a residual current protection device
(RCD) with a residual current of no more than 30 mA.

Tips for cutting
F G H J
z Please observe the brooding season of the birds!
z The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid
for adequate light and ventilation for all parts of the hedge.
z In order to promote thick growth of young hedges, only half of
new shoots should be cut.
z If the hedge has already reached the desired height, new shoots
can be completely removed.
z In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can string up a
guide wire at the desired height and cut along this wire.
z Cutting seasons:
–
Deciduous hedges: May/June and October (cutback to ap-
prox. 1/3 of the total height in winter)
–
Conifer hedges: April and October
–
Conifers: April and October
