WORKING TECHNIQUES
Safety instructions after completing work
• The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is not in use.
• Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting
attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause
cuts.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Basic working techniques
• Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides.
• Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
• When trimming a hedge the engine should always face
away from the hedge.
• Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get
the best balance.
• Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
• Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.

firm surface until the required angle is set.
