6.4 OPERATION
Before cutting and trimming bushes and
hedges for the first time, it is recommended to:
• wear the battery backpack and the
machine support correctly;
• have carefully read the safety
warnings and instructions for use
contained in this manual;
• practice in order to become familiar
with the machine and the most
appropriate cutting techniques.
To use the machine proceed as follows:
• always connect the machine to the correctly
fitted battery backpack (see par. 6.1.3);
• always hold the machine firmly with both
hands, with the left hand on the front hand
grip and the right hand on the rear one,
regardless if the operator is left-handed.
DANGER
The hedge trimmer is intended to be used
by the operator at ground level and not on
ladders or any other unstable support;
DANGER
Do not remove cut material or hold material to
be cut while blades are moving. Make sure the
machine is turned off when removing cut material.
NOTE
During operation, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protection device that switches off the
machine and inhibits its operation.
6.4.1 Work techniques
It is recommended to trim the two vertical
sides of the hedge before trimming the top.
NOTE
The battery power reserve (and therefore the
surface covered by vegetation that can be
mowed before recharging is required) depends
on many factors described at (par. 7.2.1).
