Blades coast after turn off.
• In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only cut dry grass.
• Hold the tool as shown in fig. F & G. Keep your other hand well
away from the blade. Maintain a
stable working position so that you
do not slip. Do not overreach.
• When cutting long grass, work in
stages from the top. Take small cuts.
• Keep the tool away from hard
objects and delicate plants.
• If the tool starts running slowly,
reduce the load.
• To make a closer cut, slightlytilt the tool.
• Spray the blade with a light coating of
general purpose oil beforefirst use and
whenever the blades begin to look dry.
Trimming hedges
± CAUTION:
Blades coast after turn o.,
• Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade
tips point slightly towards the hedge ,r=_ \f_-. _
(fig. H). This willcause the blades to
cut more effectively.
Start by trimming the top of the hedge. \
Hold the tool at the desired angle and "
move it steadily along the line of cut.
The double-sided blade allows you to /'
cut in either direction.
In order to obtain a very straight cut,
stretch a piece of string along the
length of the hedge at the desired
hei(jht. Use the st-ringas a guide line,
cutting just above it.
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth (fig. I).
Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts downwards,
causing shallow patches in the hedge. A
Take care to avoid any foreign objects. IMp
Especially avoid hard objecfs such as
metal wire and railings, as these could
damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.
