Cutting/trimming
• Make sure that there are no hidden obstacles (metal poles/wire fences) in the area
to be trimmed.
• Max branch diam: 14 mm.
• Hold the trimmer firmly; maintain a steady stance and do not lean out too far.
Be extra careful when using a ladder.
• Move the trimmer along in a slow and steady motion.
• The double-sided cutter blade enables trimming in both directions or in a pendulum
action from side to side.
• For even trimming on the sides, it is better to cut in the direction of growth, from
the bottom up.
• If you trim from the top down, the thinner twigs will bend out and there is a risk of
holes or thin patches appearing in your hedge.
• In order to ensure a straight top edge, you can stretch a length of string over
the hedge as a guide.
Pole saw
Warning:
• Always keep the work area tidy so you can move freely without the risk of tripping
over obstacles.
• Make sure that there are no loose branches that could become caught in the pole saw.
• Make sure that you are wearing all required safety gear before starting.
• Make sure that all parts of the pole saw head are intact, in place and undamaged.
• Check that the saw chain is sharp and completely taut.
• Keep the motor housing ventilation slots free from debris.
• The safety catch for the power trigger (3) and the power trigger (2) should be easily
activated without sticking and otherwise function normally.
• Check that both handles are clean and easily gripped.
Topping up the saw chain oil
1. Open the saw chain oil filler cap (17) and top up with good quality saw chain oil.
Check the level in the window (21).
2. Screw the cap back on.
3. Check the oil level regularly while working.
Sawing technique
It is advisable to practice your sawing technique on easily accessible branches first.
This will allow you to comfortably practice your sawing technique in various situations.
It will then be easier and safer for you to progress onto using more advanced sawing
techniques.
Warning:
Never saw into bushes or thin branches. These can get caught in
the saw chain and cause the saw to be thrown out of control.
