OPERATION
Cutting techniques
WARNING! - Do not start the hedge trimmer without the
blade-guard (B, Fig.41). Do not use damaged or
excessively worn blades. If the blade gets jammed, turn
off engine before removing the obstruction.
Trim sides of a hedge fi rst, and then the top. Cut slowly, specially
with thick hedges. If the hedge needs trimming back hard,
41
proceed gradually, making a succession of shallow cuts rather than
attempting a single deep cut.
Vertical cut: Use an arcing cut from the bottom upwards, then
downwards, to use both sides of the blades (Fig. 42).
Horizontal cut: In order to get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the
blade (5÷10°) towards the cutting direction (Fig. 43).
Overhead cut: using the attachment hedgetrimmer (Fig.44), elevate
the blade to the required height and cut as appropriate, sweeping left
and right in a wide arc.
Transportation
When you walk with your hedge trimmer, turn off the engine and put
42
on the blade cover (A, Fig.45). Grip the front handle and keep the
cutter blades behind you (Fig.45).
