266LRH / 268LRH Hedgetrimmer

Original Instructions Version June13
Fitting the Handguard
Hedgetrimmer attachments are supplied with a hand guard, which prevents the operator from acidentally
touching the hedgetrimer blades. On 281-MT models this guard also acts as a clip where the tip of the blades
can be secured when the hedgetrimmer is folded for storage.
To fit the hand guard, slide it over the driveshaft and secure in place using the allen key bolt and nut
supplied. Ensure that on 281-MT models the clip side is facing towards the cutter head and is fitted at the
point where it can be used to secure the tip of the blades when the hedgetrimmer is folded for storage.
Ensure that the two flat feet are facing the ground to support the hedgetrimmer when it is placed flat on the
floor.
Blade information
•
Never cut hedges thicker than 10mm and only fresh growth.
• If wire is caught by the blades, damage can occur which is not covered by the warranty.
• When sharpening, removing, or reattaching the blades, be sure to wear thick, sturdy gloves and
use only appropriate tools and equipment to prevent injury.
•
After you have finished using the hedge trimmer, clean the blades and apply clean light grade
lubricating oil to the entire length of the blades, including the blade bolts.
