WARNING:
Never attach or adjust any attachment
while the power head is running or with the battery
installed. Failure to stop the motor and remove the battery
may cause serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING BLADE
When the hedge trimmer is removed from the package, it
is unfolded totally which the angle between the blade and
the hedge trimmer shaft is 180° (Fig. B).
It is recommended to adjust the cutting blade to a suitable
working position before attaching it to the power head.
There are 9 possible working positions. The angle of the
cutting blade can be adjusted upwards in 5 stages from
0° (straight) to 45°, including 0°, and downwards in 4
stages from 0° to 52° (right angle facing down) (Fig. C),
not including 0°.
1. Press the trigger on the adjusting lever and
meanwhile rotate the adjusting lever to adjust the
cutting blade to the desired cutting position (Fig. D).
2. Once the desired position has been reached, release
the trigger. An audible click indicates that the locking
pin is engaged in the quadrant, right located into
place (Fig. D).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, carry
out the adjustment only when the cutting blades are
at a standstill. Never touch the blades while making
adjustments.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always stop
the tool and fit the blade scabbard before moving the
cutting blade to the storage position or from the storage
position to the normal working position.
