■ HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the top.
Vertical cut:
• With the single-sided blade hedge-trimmer, model
HTZ7500 always cut from the bottom up.
• With the 2-sided blade model CHTZ6000/CHTZ7500
use an arcing cut from the bottom upwards, then
downwards to use both sides of the blades.
Horizontal cut:
• In order to get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the
blade (5÷10°) towards the cutting direction.
WARNING
Always follow the safety precautions.
The hedge-trimmer must only be used to trim hedges
or small bushes. It is forbidden to cut other types of
material. Do not use the hedge-trimmer as a lever to
lift, move or break objects, nor lock it on fixed sup-
ports. It is forbidden to apply tools or applications
that are not the ones indicated by the manufacturer
onto the hedge-trimmer’s power take-off. Do not use
it for pruning trees or cutting grass.
• Use only as much throttle as is needed to do the job.
Excessive engine speed is unnecessary.
• Avoid cutting thick branches, for which will damage
the blades and shorten the life of drive systems.
• Tilting the trimmer 5 to 10° to the cutting object will
make the job easy and bring a good result.
• Always keep your body to the carburetor side of your
trimmer, never on the muffler side.
• When a new machine is first operated, in the first few
minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But,
since this is excess grease, there is no cause for alarm.
Just wipe it off with the engine stopped for next use.
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cut-
ting. You will achieve better results by not crowding
the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at
its own pace.
Cut slowly, specially with thick hedges.
