Before Use

Read and understand the operating and safety instructions before using the hedge trimmer.

  • Wear appropriate eye protection.
  • Keep the work area clear before trimming.

How to Use the Hedge Trimmer

Install the charged battery pack securely before operation.

Hold the hedge trimmer firmly using both handles and keep a stable working position.

Allow the blades to reach operating speed before moving them into the hedge or shrub.

Do not force the hedge trimmer through material that exceeds its cutting capacity.

Top Cutting

When trimming the top of a hedge, hold the hedge trimmer securely and move the blade across the top surface using a controlled sweeping motion.

Keep the blade positioned away from your body and maintain stable footing throughout the cut.

Side Cutting

For the sides of a hedge, guide the hedge trimmer upward or downward along the hedge surface using smooth, controlled movements.

Work gradually rather than attempting to remove too much material in one pass.

Rotating Handle

The PROFOR05020 includes a rotating handle designed to support different trimming positions.

Adjust the handle before cutting so the hedge trimmer can be held comfortably for horizontal or vertical trimming.

Make sure the handle is securely locked in position before restarting operation.

Charging the Battery Pack

Use the specified battery and charger for the hedge trimmer.

Before charging:

  • Follow the charger instructions.
  • Keep the battery and charger away from excessive heat and moisture.
  • Make sure the battery is correctly seated in the charger.
  • Do not use a damaged battery pack or charger.

Allow the battery to charge before reinstalling it in the hedge trimmer.

Maintenance and Storage

Before performing maintenance, remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.

After use:

  1. Remove debris from the blades and housing.
  2. Inspect the blades for damage.
  3. Keep the cutting blade clean.
  4. Store the hedge trimmer in a dry location.
  5. Keep the tool and battery away from children and unauthorized users.

Regular inspection and cleaning help keep the hedge trimmer ready for future use.
