FIELD OF APPLICATION:
Intended use:
RC 162: Used for hedges and smaller branches and trees. Branches must not exceed
40 mm in diameter to avoid fraying.
Starting and stopping the tool must always be done at the lowest rpm or lowest oil flow.
The saw and the hedge cutter is solely built for use in landscaping or the like. Vertical
cuts are allowed at an angle of no more than -15
0
. Horizontal cuts are possible on
hedges no more than 150 cm. wide and with branches with a thickness up to 40 mm.
larger branches will stop the tool.
It is recommended that the forward speed is kept at a minimum when starting the work
to achieve the correct work speed for the tool. Adjust the angle of the cutter so that it is
straight and adjust the position to make the knives cut directly at the branches. Where
possible, the knives have to cut vertical in the direction of travel. This prevents the
knives from bending during work.
If smaller branches and other unwanted material gets stuck,
the machine and the
vehicle must be stopped and the ignition key removed before attempting to clean the
knives.
Any other use than the described is against the intended use. GreenTec A/S is
not liable for damages as a result of this; the risk lies solely on the user.
Unintended use:
Under no circumstances is it allowed to use the machine for cutting down trees. The
machine must never be used as a stationary sawmill or the like. The machine must not
be used for sharpening poles. The machine must
only be used for cutting wood
material.
