9) Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting
device, especially when starting up the motor.
CAUTION: Always remember that incorrectly used electric
GB
hedgetrimmers may be disruptive to others. To respect others
and the environment:
- Avoid using the machine in places and at times that may
be disruptive.
- Strictly comply with local regulations for the disposal of
waste material after cutting.
- To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine on leaves
or dry grass when the motor is hot.
- Strictly comply with local regulations for the disposal of
damaged par ts or any element with a strong
environmental impact.
WARNING! Long-term exposure to vibration can cause
injury and neuro-vascular disorders (also known as "Raynaud's
phenomenon" or "white hand" phenomenon) especially to
those suffering from circulatory disorders. Symptoms can affect
the hands, wrists and fingers and manifest with loss of feeling,
numbness, itching, pain, discoloration or structural changes in
the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient
temperatures and/or an excessive grip on the handles. At the
onset of symptoms, limit the time you use the machine and
seek medical advice.
7.1HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
WARNING! While working, the machine must always be
firmly held with both hands..
The battery has a protection device that prevents its total
discharge.
The machine switches off automatically if the rechargeable
battery is flat. In this case, it must be promptly recharged.
WARNING! Stop the motor immediately if the blades lock
while working or get caught in the branches of the hedge.
7.2 WORKING TECHNIQUES
WARNING! Neither the operator of the machine nor
anyone else should attempt to remove cut material while
the motor is running or the blades are rotating, as this may
cause serious injury.
It is always preferable to first cut the two vertical sides of the
hedge and then the top part.
Vertical cut (Fig.4)
The cut should be done with a sweeping motion from the
bottom to the top, keeping the blade as far away from the body
as possible.
Horizontal cut (Fig.5)
For best results, keep the blade slightly tilted (5-10°) in the
direction of the cut, using a sweeping motion and slow and
steady progress, especially in the case of very thick hedges.
7.3 COMPLETION OF WORK
Once work is done, stop the motor as previously indicated.
20
WARNING! Let the motor cool down before storing the
machine in any environment.
To reduce the risk of fire, remove any branch residue, leaves
or excess grease from the machine; do not leave containers
with mowing waste material inside a room.
After each work session, it is a good idea to clean and lubricate
the blades, to increase their good working order and lifespan:
- Clean the blades with a dry cloth and use a brush for
stubborn dirt.
- Lubricate the blades with a specific oil, preferably non-
polluting.
