move back and forth in a linear shearing motion. The protective tip at the top of the blade prevents
unpleasant kickback reactions when hitting walls, fences, etc.
Operators are protected by the appliance’s two-hand safety switch and quick-stop brake function.
The hand protection guards your hands against twigs and branches. Read the sections below to learn
more about each operating element’s function.
