9. OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
9.6 HOLDING THE HEDGE
TRIMMER – FIG.13
– Do not be afraid to hold the hedge trimmer power
head close in to the body. In this position the
weight of the trimmer will be easy to bear.
– Firmly grip the rear handle pulling it tight in to
hip/thigh. With the left hand grip the front handle
with thumb on the underside.
– Try to work at hip height, or bend the knees
instead of the back. This will be more
comfortable and a safer stance to adopt.
Warning!
When operating with the engine close to
your body, take extreme care to avoid exposure to
the exhaust area, as the hot gasses emitted may
cause burns to clothing or body.
