 Allow the product to run at idle speed for 10 to 15 seconds to let it warm up; move the
choke lever (19) to its “OPEN” position once the engine is warm.
 Once the engine is running correctly, carefully lift the product and securely hold it by its

8.3 Cutting
 Adjust the handle so that it fits the intended cut and start the product as described.
 Cut and remove branches exceeding the cutting capacity (max. 27 mm) of this product
using a proper pruner before operation.
 Move the cutting blade lightly through the cutting surface in a sweeping motion following
the shape of the hedge or shrub. A slight tilt downwards of the cutting blade in the
direction of motion is recommended for optimum cutting performance.
 Do not to rush and do not attempt to cut too much with one stroke of the cutting blade.
 First cut both sides from the bottom cutting upwards to the top (Fig. 9).
 This will prevent any of the cuttings falling into the path of the area still to be cut.
 After cutting the sides proceed to the top (Fig. 10).
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting blade angled at approximately 15° to the
cutting surface.
 Cut in a number of stages if the area being cut is particularly long to achieve a better result;
smaller cuttings will allow for easy composting.
