SWIVELED HANDLE
To reduce fatigue when trimming hedges, the handle on your WEHC600 Hedgecutter can be swiveled 90
degrees to the left or right.
1. Free the handle, by pulling the locking lever.
2. Turn the handle until the locking lever clicks into place.
3. When the handle is locked in its new position, you can begin working.
CAUTION
Do not use when the handle has not been locked into an operating position
• Always have a firm footing and use two hands to hold the machine
• It is advisable to cut a hedge from the bottom up, sweeping the cutter head in an arc as you move along
the hedge. The double edged cutter blades allow cutting of your hedge in both directions.
•
Hold the cutter head at an angle of 0-10 degrees as you sweep the head in an arc across the top of your
hedge, towards the outside to allow cuttings to fall to the ground.
• Pay special attention to hedges which are positioned along wire fencing. If the cutting blades make
contact with the fence, damage may occur.
• Do not use the Hedgecutter for periods greater than 40 minutes. Take a break for 10-20 minutes or after
using one tank of fuel.
• If the blade comes into contact with a stone, wire or other foreign object, stop immediately and check for
any damage to the blades immediately.
• Do not attempt to remove any twigs or branches jammed in the cutter blades, without first turning the
engine off.
•
Always check for any damage before each use and replace a damaged blade immediately, with an
approved replacement part. A
• Always fit the supplied blade guard when the Hedgecutter is not in use.
