OPERATION
• If anything jams in the blades while you are working, switch off the
engine and wait until it has stopped completely before cleaning
the blades. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting
attachment (Fig.33). This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.
• Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed,
allowing the engine to idle. If you run the hedge trimmer at full
throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear or damage
can occur to the blade and engine.
• If the cutter blades become jammed by thick branches or any other
36
obstruction, switch off the engine immediately before attempting
to free the blades.
Note: The hedgetrimmer can also be used without the handgrip.
In this case, remove the handgrip and hold the front sheath area
(C, Fig. 34) with your left hand during operation.
CAUTION! - Always set the machine on the ground with
the engine switched off and as shown in Fig. 35.
Cutting season
37
Observe all country-specific and local regulations and ordinances
regarding hedge trimming.
Preparations
Before starting work, scare away small animals so that they cannot be
injured.
Adjusting the hedgetrimmer (Fig.36)
The angle between the hedgetrimmer and the shaft arm is adjustable
through 12 positions from 0° (fully extended) to 90° (right angle) both
38
up and down (full range of movement 180°) (Fig.37).
Adjustment procedure:
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Pull the angle adjustment handgrip (A, Fig.38) and twist
anticlockwise to disengage the mechanism.
3. Rotate the attachment to the position desired, selecting the
appropriate hole in the disc.
4. Release the handgrip and ensure the catch pin engages the hole
(Fig.39).
WARNING – With the pin engaged (having made the
39
adjustment) the handgrip should come to rest on the
housing as before (Fig.40).
