tightened. If you detect any anomaly, stop the machine
straight away and check the machine carefully. In
case of any damage, take the machine to your nearest
service agent. Never carrying on working if the
machine is not working correctly.
Remember to always use the machine with clean
hands and without petrol and oil.
Clean the work area and eliminate any obstacles
that could cause accidents. Check the work area and
remove any objects that could get entangled to the
cutting elements. Also remove any objects that could
be expelled by the machine or its parts when getting
in contact with these.
Do not allow anybody to enter the working
area. This working perimeter is 15 metres
and this is a dangerous zone.
Never use the machine when on top of a ladder, in a
tree or in any other unstable surface.
When moving from one working area to the next, turn
off the engine.
Never let the machine unattended.
Do not use any accessories that are not originals
and that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer. Use of other accessories can cause
accidents and can be dangerous for the end user
and those nearby as well as causing damages to the
machine.
Always follow the security rules that we indicate in the
manual.
6.1. HOW TO HOLD THE MACHINE WHILST
WORKING
Hold the machine with your left hand on the front
handle and your right hand on the rear handle so
that you can operate the controls (On/Off switch (8)
with the right and safety switch (6) with the left). If
you have to use the machine with the extendable
accessory, the safety switch (3) can be found next to
the On/Off Switch (8).
Attention! So as to reduce the risk of lack of control
and possible damages (even mortal) to the end user
and people nearby, never use this machine single
handedly.
This tool must not be used as a lever to lift, move or
split objects.
6.2. HEDGE CUTTING
We recommend that you test yourself firstly with
small branches in an easy position so as to get some
experience before starting with more complex cuts.
Always start the hedge cutter before placing the blade
in the cutting area. Once the hedge cutter has started,
place the machine in the hedge in a flat position
and carry out long fan like movements. If you tilt the
machine in the cutting direction you will obtain better
cutting results.
If, whilst you cut, the blade blocks, stop the machine
immediately. Before unblocking the blade:
- Ensure the machine is fully stopped, the spark plug
disconnected and the blade at a complete standstill.
- Check that the temperature of the blade is not
extremely high. If it is, wait a few minutes for the
blade to cool.
- Always use security gloves when unblocking the
blade.
- With the help of suitable tooling, remove the
blocking element from the blade.
