Adjusting the cutting angle
WARNING:

Do not operate the tool with the loose and
unstable cutter unit. Otherwise the cutter unit may
change direction suddenly and cause injury.
CAUTION:
•
The cutter unit is fastened only with certain angles
alongside the groove on the unit. Make sure the
cutter unit sits properly. If the angle is not
appropriate, the clutch is cut and the tool does not
operate.

Do not adjust the cutter unit while the pole hedge
trimmer is in an upright position.
•
Switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge, and lay the pole hedge trimmer flat on
the ground to adjust the cutting angle.
•
Always secure the blades with the blade cover
provided before adjusting cutting angle.
