The hedge trimmer model HL 75 with an adjustable cutter bar will be available in the future in addition to

the current versions with a straight and 30-degree cutter bar.

The adjustable cutter bar enables the unit to be immediately adapted to suit different cutting
situations and thus increases its versatility.

The angle of the cutter bar relative to the drive shaft can be adjusted between 0° (straight)

and 90° (right angle). The nine different positions are defined by holes in a quadrant which
are marked with the numerals 1 to 9.

Adjusting cutter bar angle

Pull back the sliding sleeve (1) and use                             1    2    3
the adjusting lever (2) to adjust to the preferred
position.
Release the sliding sleeve and allow the
pin to engage the nearest hole in the quadrant (3).
