ASSEMBLING TME ROD
(If supplled separately) (Fig. 1)
- Insert the rod (1) in the sleeve (2) so that the hole
(3) coincides with the screw (4).
- Tighten the two screws (4) and (5) completely.
The head of the screw (4) must not stick out
when tightened.
CONNECTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
(Fig. 2)
- Pull out the stop pin (1) and push the rod (2) right
down until the stop pin (1) clicks into the hole (3)
in the rod. This is easier to do if you rotate the
bottom
of
the rod (2) slightly in both directions.
The pin (1) is in place when it is completely
lodged in the hole.
- Once inserted, tighten the knob (4) securely.

Also carefully read
the
oper-
ator's manual for
the
brush cutter fitted
with the
hedge trimming device.
Before starting work please:
- Check that all the
screws
on the machine and the
blade are tightly fastened;
- check that the blades are sharp and there are no
signs
of
any damage;
- check that the protection devices are well fa-
stened and working efficiently;
- check that the handgrips are well fastened
• Directions tor
use
- Cut branches up to a maximum diameter
of
5
mm; cutting branches with a larger diameter
could damage the hedge trimmer.
- ONLY adjust the tilt angle with the motor
switched
off.
SWITCH OFF the motor before re-
moving any branches caught up in the blades.
- Never bring the blades close to body
parts
while
working.
- Always fit the blade guards when the device is
switched off.

• Vertlcal trtmmlng (Fig. 4)
Proceed to cut by using curved movements from
the bottom towards the top, keeping the blade
as
tar from the body
as
possible.
• Horlzontal trimming (Fig. 5)
The best resuns 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.
LUBRICATING TME BLADES DURING JOBS
(Fig. 6)
If
the cutting device gets excessively hot during op-
erations, grease the blade's internal surfaces with
the specific oil.
