IMPORTANT: Set the depth of cut before you start the engine.
1. Loosen the knob holding the guard to the plate.
2. Rotate the guard as necessary to set the depth of cut.
Note that:

Rotating the guard to raise the wheel increases the depth of cut.

Rotating the guard to lower the wheel decreases the depth of cut.
3. Make sure the guard is positioned to protect the operator from
thrown debris, then tighten the knob.
Operating Position
Before using the Multi-Cutter with Hedge Trimmer Attachment, check the following:
1. The unit should be on operator’s right side.
2. The operator’s right hand should be holding the shaft grip, with his or her fingers on the throttle trigger.
The right arm should be slightly bent.
3. The left hand should be holding the loop handle with the fingers and thumb fully enclosed around the
grip. Reposition the loop handle up or down the shaft assembly if necessary for a comfortable
position.
4. The Hedge Trimmer weight should be evenly distributed between the arms.

5. Make sure the cutting blades are moving (at least half throttle ) before actual cutting begins. The Hedge
Trimmer performs best at full throttle.
6. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to speed when not cutting.
7. Stop the engine when moving between work sites.
・
If the cutting blades becomes jammed, stop the engine immediately.
・
Make certain all moving parts have stopped and disconnect the spark plug before inspecting the equip-
ment for damage.
・
Never use a unit that has chipped, cracked or broken blades.
IMPORTANT: The thickness of branches which may be cut using this trimmer is limited to up to
approximately 4,5mm. Never try to cut branches thicker than this, as doing so may
result in damage to the trimmer.
8. When transporting the Hedge Trimmer always fit the blade sheath.

・
