Always hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both hands when using.
Before cutting ensure that the blades are running at full speed and be aware that
the blades may keep moving after you have released the throttle.
It is advisable to cut a hedge from the bottom up sweeping the cutter bar in an arc
as you move along the hedge.
To cut the top of the hedge, hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0-10 degrees as you
swing the hedge trimmer horizontally. Sweep the cutter bar in an arc towards the
outside of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept onto the ground.
Pay special attention when cutting hedges along a wire fence.
The blades may be
damaged if they come into
contact with the wire.
Do not use the hedge trimmer for long periods
of
time - take a break of 10-15
mins after
every
50 mins
of
use or after using one tank of fuel.
If the blades hit a stone, wire or other foreign object, turn off the engine and check
for any damage. Replace any damaged blades before continuing.
Do not attempt to remove any twigs or branches jammed in the cutter blades
with out first turning the machine off.
