6.2.2 Machine operating test
Action
1. Start the machine
(para. 6.3 );
2. Release the blade
control lever (Fig.
5.A) or the safety
switch (Fig. 5.B,)
If any of the results fail to match the
indications provided in the tables below, do
not use the machine! Take it to a service centre
to be checked and repaired if necessary.
6.3 START-UP
NOTE
t is recommended to use the machine at a
I
temperature between -10°C and 60°C
Starting
the
simultaneous engagement of the blade.
Don't start the machine when it's under
charging status.
NOTE Operate the machine only on a firm, level
surface.
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 batteries inside their housing (Fig. 7.A)
pressing down until you hear the "clicks" firmly
into position and assure the electrical contact;
NOTE The machine works only with both
batteries inserted.
4. Take a firm and balance position
5. Press the control lock button (Fig.8.C)
6. Press the blade control lever (Fig. 8.A)
7. Press the safety switch (Fig. 8.B).
6.4 OPERATION
During use, always hold the machine
firmly with two hands, using the machine
with the cutting means under the operator's
shoulder level.
Always use the machine at ground level
and not on ladders or any other unstable
support.
Result
1. The blade should move
2. The controls should
return automatically
and rapidly to the
neutral position and
the blade should stop
machine
causes
Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the machine is turned off when
removing cut 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.
6.4.1 Adjusting the rear handgrip (Fig.9)
Perform this operation with the machine
off.
1. Press the rear handgrip
release button (Fig. 9.A)
2. Start rotating the rear handgrip (Fig. 9.B)
3. Release the button
4. Rotate the handgrip until it clicks
the
into the desired position.
IMPORTANT
that the release button has correctly returned to
the block position, and the rear handgrip is firmly
attached.
When working, the rear handgrip must
always be in a vertical position, whatever the
position of the cutting means
6.4.2 Work techniques
It is recommended to trim the two vertical sides of
the hedge before trimming the top.
NOTE
Battery power reserve (and therefore
the cuttable vegetation area before charging is
required) depends on many factors described in
(para. 7.2.1).
6.4.2.a
Vertical cutting (Fig. 10)
Proceed by cutting using curved movements from
the bottom towards the top, keeping the blade as
far from the body as possible.
6.4.2.b
Horizontal cutting (Fig. 11)
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.
