Frequently Asked Questions - FHL 900 B3 FLORABEST

How do I assemble the long-reach hedge trimmer?

Slide the front arm onto the tubular shaft until the safety button locks. Fix the shaft elements with the star wheel and nut. Attach the leg protection using square nuts and screws according to your handedness (variant a for right-handed, b for left-handed). Always unplug before assembly.

How do I swivel the blade beam into operating position?

Hold the handle to adjust the blade beam. Unscrew the stop lever fixing, press the safety lever and stop lever simultaneously to release the safety blade beam. Swivel the beam out to one of 13 stop stages (max 90°). Then screw the stop lever fixing back in.

How do I switch the hedge trimmer on and off?

Form a loop in the extension cable and hook it into the strain relief. Connect to mains. To switch on, hold the safety switch (deadman switch) and press the on/off switch. Release the on/off switch to stop. Always keep both hands on the handles and away from the blade.

What safety precautions should I take when using the hedge trimmer?

Wear protective goggles or face protection, ear protection, safety helmet, cut-resistant gloves, and safety boots. Keep a distance of at least 10 m from power lines. Do not use in rain or on wet hedges. Always unplug if cable is damaged or when leaving the device unattended.

How do I adjust the arm angle for different cutting positions?

Push the safety slide forward to release the indexing. Then turn the tubular shaft 45° or 90° to the right or left as needed, using the scale on the device for reference. Beware of hot gearbox after use – allow to cool before touching.

What cutting techniques should I use for best results?

For vertical cutting, move the trimmer uniformly forward or in an arc up/down. For horizontal cutting, use a sickle-shaped motion. For shaped hedges, cut in a trapezoidal form to prevent stripping lower branches. Cut thick branches first with branch clippers. Always cut from bottom to top on sides.

How do I clean and maintain the hedge trimmer?

Unplug and wear gloves when handling blades. Clean the cutter bar after each use with an oily cloth or metal protective spray. Keep ventilation slots clean with a damp cloth or brush – never use water or solvents. Check for loose or damaged parts before each use. Sharpen or replace blunt blades via Service Centre.

What should I do if the blades become hot during operation?

Hot blades indicate they may be blunt or notched, or lack lubrication. Oil the blades if dry. If blunt or notched, have them sharpened or replaced by the Service Centre. Overheating can damage the motor and gearbox, so stop use immediately and fix the issue.

How should I store the hedge trimmer?

Always store in a dry place out of reach of children. Fit the blade guard supplied and hang if possible. Disconnect from mains. Ensure the blade beam is in the transport/storage position (angled in) to save space and protect the blades.

How do I dispose of the hedge trimmer at the end of its life?

Do not dispose with household waste. Take the equipment to a recycling centre or waste disposal site. Plastic and metal parts can be separated for recycling. The packaging should also be recycled. Contact your Service Centre for local disposal options.

General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety directions and instructions.

Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term "Power Tools" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without power cord).

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
  Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

- Where possible, connect the equipment only to a plug socket with a leakage-current-operated circuit breaker (FI switch), with a rated current of not more than 30 mA.

- If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.

Personal safety

- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Carefully inspect the area to be cut and remove all wires or other foreign bodies.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Service

- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

- Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

F1. Release the indexing by pushing the safety slide (11) forward.

1. The tubular shank can now optionally be turned 45^/90^ to the right or the left (see the scale on the device).

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cutting through both directions or, with a swing-off, from one side to the other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.
• In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended.

Cutting Shaped Hedges:

It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off of the lower branches. This corresponds to the natural plant growth and allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense branching and a good screen will develop.

1. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thinner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.

2. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape

3. Trim young plants to the required shape. The main growth should remain undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size.

Care of Free-Growing Hedges:

Free-growing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly maintained so the hedge does not become too high.

Cutting Times

Deciduous hedges:

June and October

Hedges of coniferous wood:

April and August

Evergreen conifer hedges:

from May

Working Safely
