Pole Hedge Trimmer; Main Parts; Installation And Adjustment; Operation - IKRA IPM 33 TL Manuel D'utilisation

• Rotate the file at regular intervals while filing to avoid
one-sided wear.
• Use a piece of hardwood to remove burrs from cut-
ting edge.
All cutters must be the same length. If the cutters are not
the same length, they will have different heights. This
makes the chain run roughly and increases the risk of
breakage of the chain.

Installation and adjustment

Installing the rod (if supplied separately)
- Insert the rod (1) into the socket (2) so the hole (3)
lines up with the bolt (4).
- Tighten the two bolts (4) and (5). Once they are tight-
ened, the head of the bolt (4) should be flush.

Operation

Important: You should also carefully read through the
operating instructions for the brush cutter on which the
hedge cutter attachment is to be used.
Before commencing work, check that:
- all screws and bolts on the machine and on the blades
have been tightened
- the blades are sharp and undamaged
- the protective devices are fitted tightly and provide ad-
equate protection
- the handgrips are properly secured
• Possible applications
- The branches being cut must not be more than 5mm
thick; using the hedge cutter attachment to chop
through thicker branches may cause irreparable dam-
age to the attachment.
- The cutting angle may ONLY be adjusted when the mo-
tor is switched off. The motor must also be SWITCHED
OFF before removing branches or foliage stuck in the
attachment.
- Always hold the cutting unit away from the body during
operation.
- When the unit is stopped, always fit the guard.
• Adjusting the angle of the blade
- Switch off the motor and wait until the blade comes
to a stop.
- Firmly hold the grip (1) and then, holding the rod (3)
with the other hand, push the unlocking lever (2) and
move the grip (1) to change the angle of the blade (4).
- When the lever (2) is released again, the blade stays
locked in the desired position.
