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.
Remove the battery from the machine.
•
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. The blades are very 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. (Figure 21)
•
When trimming a hedge the motor should always face
away from the hedge.
•
Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance. (Figure 20)
•
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.
