USE
Only those who understand the safety instructions and the operating instructions may use the
equipment or product. There is a risk of crushing when working with equipment that has moving
parts. Exercise caution when working with equipment with hydraulic hoses as oil under pressure
can penetrate the skin. Immediately seek medical attention if this should occur. Always work alone
with equipment that is made for working alone. Respect the equipment’s risk zone.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN IN USE
• Use of the machine as a lifting tool is forbidden.
• Nor may it be used for digging of any kind or cutting other materials not described in this operat-
ing manual.
• When working in the dark, the vehicle used must be equipped with a rotating warning lamp and
the workplace must be well lit.
• Stabilisers must always be fitted to the machine when it is not in use.
• Always check that there is no person or animal in the vicinity before operation.
• Under no circumstances should anyone be near the machine while it is in operation.
• Adjust the tractor’s speed when cutting different materials. The recommended speed when cut-
ting hedges is 1.5 – 2 km/h.
The trimmer can be used in different positions:
• Laterally – to cut the side of the hedge.
• Bottom position for mowing tall or dry grass.
• The trimmer can be turned 180 degrees to cut the other side of the hedge.
• Top position for cutting above the hedge.
AFTER USE
• Switch off the trimmer. Important! Make sure that the blades have stopped before you discon-
nect the machine.
• Place the machine on the ground, fit the stabilisers.
• Before you disconnect the hydraulic hoses, make sure there is no pressure left in the system.
• Switch off the tractor and apply the handbrake.
• Disconnect the machine from the tractor, making sure that it cannot tip over.
• Wash, rinse with water and dry if necessary. Lubricate all bearings and blades afterwards.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Check that the work area is free from bystanders, children and objects before driving off. Always
observe additional caution during transport and moving. Ensure that the equipment or product is
well anchored and existing transport lashings are fitted. Always position the load as low as possible.
Respect the risk zones even during transport and moving. Do not permit anyone to walk under
suspended loads when carrying out lifts. Trailers used for transport should have brakes that work.
Always store the equipment or product on a dry surface, preferably under a roof, when not in use.
Ensure that the equipment or product is stable and cannot tip over. Never permit children to play at
the storage site. Be aware of the tipping risk!
• When the machine is in storage, it should be cleaned and all bearings and blades lubricated.
• The blade guard must always be fitted when the machine is not in use.
RECYCLING
When scrapping, the equipment should be dismantled and transported
to a designated recycling station. Contact your local authority for further
