Top cutting
Use a wide sweeping
motion. A slight
downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives
the best cutting results.
Side cutting
When trimming the sides of the
hedge, begin at the bottom and
cut upwards. Trim the side of a
hedge so that it will be slightly
narrower at the top.
Note:
As a result of its design, if
you work with the machine on its
side for a lengthy period and the
tank is not adequately filled, the
motor may stall.
MAINTENANCE
5. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
• Use a soft brush to remove
debris from all air intakes
and the cutting blade.
• To remove sap and other
sticky residue, spray the
blades with a common
solvent. Run the motor briefly
so that the solvent is evenly
distributed.
• Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
• Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
