Maintenance
2. FILL the fuel tank fully when the the tool is positioned with the blade vertical. The
fuel pick up tube will not reach the bottom of the tank with these orientations.
3. Ensure the handle lock is fully engaged.
Note.
All protective devices of the machine as well as protective equipment
must be maintained in good operating condition during the period of use.
Petrol hedge trimmers transmit vibrations to the operator during use. These
vibrations can generate increased fatigue. For this reason, we recommend taking
regular breaks during work. We also recommend taking a break after a few hours
of work to rest the engine. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs during operation,
turn the hedge trimmer off immediately and have the problem corrected.
Trimming instructions
Before operating your unit, review
ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in this manual.
1. WORKING POSITION.
Maintain proper footing and balance
and do not overreach.Wear safety goggles, ear muffs,
non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming.
Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON.
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the illustrations,
with one hand on the rear handle and one hand on the
front handle. NEVER hold the tool by the protective guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH.
A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most
effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting. (Fig 5A)
3. LEVEL HEDGES.
To obtain level hedges, a piece of string
can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
CAUTION: Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems
greater than 24mm. Use the trimmer only for cutting
normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings.
4. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES.
Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom
and sweep up. (Fig 5B)
