WORKING TECHNIQUES

Safety instructions after completing work

The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.

Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

Store the machine out of reach of children.

Use only original spare parts for repairs.

Basic working techniques

Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides.

Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.

When trimming a hedge the engine should always face away from the hedge.

Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.

Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly.

The hedge trimmer’s rear handle can be set in three positions by pulling out the catch. See figure. When the handle is adjusted the hedge trimmer should be idling or not running.

While working the handle should always be facing upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is directed.
