Action
1. Fit the battery inside
its compartment
(Fig. 10.A );
2. press the safety
button (Fig. 9.A)
Start the machine
(para. 7.3 );
1. engage the blade

and repaired if necessary.

7.3 START-UP

7.3.1 Start-up with battery
1. Remove the blade guard (Fig. 1.E) (if used);
2. make sure the blade is not touching
the ground or any other object;
3. Fit the battery inside its
compartment (
Fig. 10.A )
4. press the safety button
5. engage the blade control lever
the safety switch simultaneously (Fig. 9.C).
7.3.2 Start-up with battery
simulator (if available)
1. Adopt a firm and well-balanced position;
2. make sure the blade is not touching
the ground or any other object;
3. insert the battery simulator correctly in
its housing on the machine (Fig.10.J)
4. connect the connection cable to
the battery simulator (Fig.10.I)
5. select the battery using the
selector (Fig. 5.B)
6. press the safety button (Fig. 9.A)
7. engage the blade control lever
Fig. 9.B and the safety switch
( )
simultaneously (Fig. 9.C)
Result
The green light must
come on (electrical circuit
activated) and the cutting
means must not move
1. The blade should move
2. The controls should
return automatically
and rapidly to the
neutral position and
the blade should stop
1. The blade should stop

7.4

OPERATION

To use the machine proceed as follows:
• always hold the machine firmly with two
hands, using the machine with the cutting
means under the operator's shoulder level;
Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the safety button is disengaged
(light off) when clearing jammed material.
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
NOTE After one minute of inactivity, if turned
on, the machine will automatically switch off.
7.4.1 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 mowable vegetation area
before recharging is required) depends on
many factors described in par. 8.2.1.
7.4.1.a Vertical cutting
Proceed by cutting using curved movements
from the bottom towards the top, keeping the
blade as far from the body as possible (Fig. 11).
7.4.1.b Horizontal cutting
The best results will be obtained with the blade
slightly inclined (5° - 10°) in the direction you
are cutting, proceed with a curved movement,
slowly and without interruptions, especially
in the case of very thick hedges (Fig. 12).
7.4.2 Operating suggestions
If the blades block while running or get
caught up in the hedge branches:
1. stop the machine immediately (para. 7.5);
2. wait for the cutting means to come to a halt;
3. remove the battery (para. 8.2.2);
4. Remove the jammed material.
