Pivoting The Power Head; Cutting Tips; Using The Pole Hedge Trimmer - IKRA GM ATHS 4043 Mode D'emploi

Pivoting the Power Head

Warnung! Always remove the battery before
inspection and adjustment work.
The Pole Trimmer is equipped with a power head that
pivots. The power head has a spring-loaded button that
allows it to be locked into several different positions with-
in its 112,5-degree rotation. Before connecting the Pole
Trimmer to the electrical supply, make sure the power
head is locked into position. Do this by trying to rotate the
power head in either direction. The power head should
be locked in position and should not rotate. To pivot the
power head, follow the instructions below
1. Push the round button (2) located on the side of the
pivot bracket. The button is spring-loaded, so you will
feel some resistance when pulling it out.
2. Grasp the power head motor housing and rotate the
power head to either of the 6 positions.
3. Release the round button.
It should snap back into its seated position. If it does not,
rotate the power head back and forth slightly until the but-
ton snaps back into its seated position. The power head
is now locked into position and ready for use.

Cutting tips

WARNING! Always hold your hedge trimmer by
both handles for use. Never hold your hedge
trimmer with one hand and the hedge to be cut
with the other. Ignoring this warning can result in
serious physical injuries.
WARNING: Clear away the cutting area before
using the device. Remove all objects, such as
power cables, electrical lines or wires, that could
jam on the teeth of the cutter and cause serious
physical injuries.
- When using the extension cable, always keep behind
the hedge cutter. Never lay it over the hedge to be
cut.
- Do not force the hedge cutter through dense bush-
es. This can cause the blades to become difficult
to move and slower. Reduce the work speed if the
blades become slower.
- Do not attempt to cut branches or twigs that are
thicker than 18 mm, or those which are obviously too
large for the cutting blade. Use a manual handsaw to
shorten large branches.
- Stop the motor if the blades jam, remove the battery
and try to remove the blockage.
- If you prefer, you can use a string to help cut the
hedge straight. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Pull a string along the hedge at the desired height.
Cut the sides of a hedge so that it is a little narrower
at the top. When a hedge is cut like this, more of it is
visible and it appears more uniform.
- Wear gloves when cutting thorny or spiky plants.
Make sweeping movements to cut young offshoots
so that the stems are guided directly to the blade.
Older branches are thicker and are easier to cut us-
ing sawing movements.
