Working Safely
Observe the specified working angle (see
illustration above), in order to guarantee
safe working.
Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe posi-
tion.
Do not be tempted to make unconsidered
cuts. Doing so may endanger both yourself
and others.
Children must be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the equipment.
Maintenance/Cleaning
Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any work on the equip-
ment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
•
Before each use, check the hedge
trimmer for obvious defects such as
loose, worn or damaged parts. Check
the secure seating of the bolts in the
cutter bar.
•
Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
•
Check coverings and safety devices for
damage and correct seating. Replace
these where necessary.
•
Keep the ventilation slots and motor
housing of the device clean. Use a
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do
not wash down the equipment with wa-
ter, or submerge it in water.
•
Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
•
Always keep the blade clean.
After using the equipment, it is im-
perative to:
- Clean the blade
(with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft
with an oil can or
spray.
•
Keep the hedge trimmer dry and cov-
ered with the blade protection supplied
and out of reach of children.
Storage
•
Keep the trimmer in the blade guard
supplied, in a dry place and out of
reach of children.
