TIPS FOR TRIMMING
•
When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and
feet away from the cutting attachment until it has stopped
completely.
•
Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out
during cutting.
•
Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other
objects can be thrown out.
•
Check the working area for foreign objects such as
electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other
objects that could damage the cutting attachment, such as
metal items.
•
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the
spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged.
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. (see Fig. 8)
•
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.
