to use both sides of the blades (IV).
Working tips
Maintain balance and proper posture during work. Exercise particular caution when working on a slippery, inclined, or uneven
surface.
Constantly keep an eye on the blades during operation. Do not mow in places which are out of sight.
Before starting work, inspect the workplace thoroughly, remove all loose branches and residues from the previous mowing.
Special care should be taken when treating tall hedges. The other side of the hedge should also be checked before starting work.
The trimmer gear cover heats up during operation. To avoid burns, avoid contact with the gearbox cover.
Take regular breaks when working. During operation, the tool emits noise and vibration, which impact the tool's operator. Taking
regular breaks and wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, hearing protectors and eye protection allows to reduce
the impact of the tool on the operator's well-being.
Start work when healthy and in good shape. In case of nausea, headache, sight problems (e.g., reduced visual range), hearing
problems, or dizziness, immediately stop operating the tool.
If the trimmer jams during operation switch it off immediately using the on/off switch and unplug the power cord from the mains,
wait until the shear components have cooled completely and then proceed to remove the cause of the jam.
If, due to jamming, any part of the blades or cover is damaged or deformed, replace or repair it before resuming work.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Caution! Before starting any activities described below, disconnect the trimmer from mains. In the case of mains-powered tools,
disconnect them from the socket, and for battery-powered tools - disconnect their batteries.
After each use, inspect the condition of the tool with particular attention to the patency of ventilation openings.
Check the placement of all of the tool's components. Tighten all loose screw connections, if any. Check the condition of the blades.
Clean it with a brush and then preserve them with a spray lubricant. Excess lubricant should be wiped off . If you notice any dam-
age or dulling of the blades, replace them at an authorised service centre.
It is forbidden to use shears with damaged blades.
Ensure that the blades are always lubricated. This will prevent the appearance of rust, which reduces the performance of the tool
and can also increase the risk of injury. The clearance between the blades should be between 0.2 and 0.4 mm, measured at the
point where the blades are bolted together.
The blades are sharpened at the factory to achieve optimum performance, but become dull as a result of use. The condition of the
blades should be assessed before starting any work. If rounding of the upper edge of the blades is discovered or if the roundness
of the lower part of the blade disappears, the blades must be sharpened (V). The sharpening must be done at an authorised
manufacturer service centre.
Before storing the trimmer for an extended period of time, the blades should be sprayed with a preservative or spread over the
blades with a brush. Excess preservative should not be removed until immediately before work. This maintenance will reduce the
risk of the blades rusting.
Clean the tool's housing with a soft and dry cloth. Clean the housing from residues of wood, oil, grease, and other contaminants.
The tool should be stored in a dry, closed room, disconnected from the mains.
Store the tool in shaded and dry places with appropriate ventilation preventing steam condensation. Such place should not be
accessible to unauthorised persons, especially children. During storage, the blades should always be protected with a cover.
