Operating Instructions
1. Practice a little with the new orientation of the tool. The balance and feel is slightly
different than in the horizontal position.
2. FILL the fuel tank fully when the tool is positioned with the blades (1) 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 hedge trimmer firmly in both hands and turn the hedge
trimmer ON. Always hold the hedge trimmer, as shown
in the illustrations, with one hand on the rear handle and
one hand on the front handle (7). NEVER hold the hedge
trimmer by the protective guard (3).
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH.
A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective.
A slight downward tilt of the blades (1), 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 hedge trimmer for cutting stems
greater than 24mm. Use the hedge 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)
