HORIZONTAL CUT:
get the best cutting results, slightly
tilt the blade (5÷10°) towards the
cutting direction.
Cut slowly, especially with thick
hedges. 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
supports. 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.
Use only as much throttle as is needed
to do the job. Excessive engine speed is
unnecessary.
Avoid cutting thick branches, for
which will damage the blades and
shorten the life of drive systems.
Tilting the trimmer 5 to 10° to the
cutting object will make the job easy
and bring a good result.
Always keep your body to the
carburetor side of your trimmer,
never on the muffler side.
When a new machine is first
operated, in the first few minutes
grease may come out of the gear
case. But, since this is excess
grease, there is no cause for alarm.
Just wipe it off with the engine
stopped for next use.
Always remember that the TIP of the
line does cutting. You will achieve
better results by not crowding the
line into the cutting area. Allow the
unit to trim at its own pace.
