SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions after completing work
•
The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is not in use.
•
Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
•
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting
attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause
cuts.
•
Store the machine out of reach of children.
•
Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Basic working techniques
•
Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides.
•
Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
•
When trimming a hedge the engine should always face
away from the hedge.
•
Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get
the best balance.
•
Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
•
Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.
Changing the hedge trimmer angle
•
Undo the knob.
•
Press the cutting head against the ground or some other
solid object until the desired angle has been obtained.
•
Tighten the knob.
!
WARNING! Do not hold the cutting head
when you adjust the angle. The blades are
sharp and you could easily cut yourself.
