engine if the blades block while running or if
they get caught up in the hedge branches
It is recommended to trim the two vertical sides
of the hedge before trimming the top.
• Vertical trimming (Fig. 6)
Il taglio deve essere eseguito con un movimento
ad arco dal basso verso l’alto, tenendo la lama il
più distante possibile dal corpo.
• Horizontal trimming (Fig. 7)
The best results will be obtained with the blade
slightly inclined (5° - 10°) in the direction you are
cutting, proceed with a curved movement, slow-
ly and without interruptions, especially in the
case of very thick hedges.
LUBRICATING THE BLADES DURING JOBS
If the trimming device overheats whilst working,
it is necessary to lubricate the internal surfaces
of the blades..
This operation must only
be performed when the blades have stopped
running and the engine is switched off.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
– Switch off the engine as indicated above
(Chap. 5).
– Wait for the blades to stop and replace the
protection device.
