IMPORTANT

Remember that an electric

hedge trimmer used incorrectly can be a disturb-

ance to others. To respect people and the environ-

ment:

– Avoid using the machine in environments or at

times of the day when it may disturb others.

– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and

provisions for the disposal of waste materials

after cutting.

WARNING! Prolonged exposure to vi-

bra tions can cause injuries and neurovascu-

lar disorders (also called “Renaud’s syn-

drome” or “white hand”), especially to people

suffering from circulation disorders. The

symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and

ngers and are shown through loss of sensi-

tivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of

or structural changes to the skin. These ef-

fects can be worsened by low ambient tem-

peratures and/or by gripping the handgrips

excessively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the

length of time the machine is used must be

reduced and a doctor consulted.

1. USING THE MACHINE

WARNING! When cutting, always hold

the machine rmly with both hands.

Immediately stop the motor if the

blades block while running or if they get

caught up in the hedge branches.

2. REGULATING THE HANDGRIP (Fig. 3)

The rear handgrip (1) can be adjusted to 5 dierent

positions in relation to the cutting device to make

trimming your hedges easier.

WARNING! The handgrip must only

be adjusted when the motor is switched o.

– Pull the release lever backwards (2).

– Rotate the rear handgrip (1) to the desired pos-

ition.

– Before using the machine check that the re-

lease lever (2) has correctly returned to its ori-

ginal position, and the rear handgrip is rmly

attached.

NOTE

The release lever can only

be enabled when the switch (3) has been re-

leased. The switch can be pressed when the re-

lease lever has correctly returned to its original

position, and the handgrip is tted in one of the 5

possible positions.

NOTE

When working, the

rear handgrip must always be in a vertical

position, whatever the position of the cutting

de vi ce (3).

3. WORKING TECHNIQUES

It is recommended to trim the two vertical sides of

the hedge before trimming the top.

• Vertical trimming (Fig. 4)

Proceed to cut by using curved movements from

the bottom towards the top, keeping the blade as

far from the body as possible.

• Horizontal trimming (Fig. 5)
