HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the Top.
Vertical cut:
• With the 2-sided blade model 2 1038 use an arcing cut from the
bottom upwards, then downwards to use both sides of the blades (OP7).
Horizontal cut:
• In order to get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the blade (5°–10°)
towards the cutting direction (OP8). Cut slowly, specially with thick hedges.
WARNING
Always follow the safety precautions.
The hedge-trimmer must only be used to trim hedges or small bushes.
It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Do not use the hedge-trimmer
as a lever to lift, move or break objects, nor lock it on fixed s upports.
It is forbidden to apply tools or applications that are not the ones indicated
by the manufacturer onto the hedge-trimmer's power take-off.
Do not use it for pruning trees or cutting grass.
