■HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the top.

Vertical cut:

•With the single-sided blade hedge- trimmer, model HTZ2460/HTZ2460L always cut from the bottom up (OP9).

•With the 2-sided blade model CHTZ2460/CHTZ2460L use an arcing cut from the bottom upwards, then downwards to use both sides of the blades (OP10).

•The hedge-trimmer must only be used to trim hedges or small bushes. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Do not use the hedge-trimmer as a lever to lift, move or break objects, nor lock it on fixed supports. It is forbidden to apply tools or applications that are not the ones indicated by the manufacturer onto the hedge- trimmer’s power take-off. Do not use it for pruning trees or cutting grass.

•Use only as much throttle as is needed to do the job. Excessive engine speed is unnecessary.

•Avoid cutting thick branches, for which will damage the blades and shorten the life of drive systems.

•Always keep your body to the carburetor side of your trimmer, never on the muffler side.

•When a new machine is first operated, in the first few minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But, since this is excess grease, there is no cause for alarm. Just wipe it off with the engine stopped for next use.

•Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. You will achieve better results by not crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.
