INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
DANGER
Never touch the cutter after cutting into an electrical wire. The cutter may be carrying live current! Hold the device by the insulated read handle only and slowly put the device down.
Disconnect the damaged wire from the power supply (pull out the plug, switch off the fuse) and remove it from the cutter. Misuse can lead to serious injuries or death.
WARNING
Check the cutting area before starting work. Remove all objects such as strings, cables or fence parts. These can get in the cutter and cause injuries and damage.
·
Do not force the cutting through strong and thick material. The cutting speed can be reduced here. In this case slow the cutting speed.
·
Do not cut branches or twigs with a diameter over 15 mm or any material that is clearly too large for the cutter. Use a different, appropriate tool for this.
·
In the event that the cutter jams, stop the motor, remove the battery and release the cutter. You can use a piece of string as a guide to determine and control the cutting height on a
hedge. See figure 5 Place the piece of string on the hedge for the length and width and cut your hedge at this height. This way you will enjoy optimal cutting results on your hedge. See
figure 6
·
Wear safety goggles for thorns or prickly plants. When cutting young shoots, cut with a sweeping motion. Older growth is more solid and can be cut with a normal forwards motion.
