Basic Working Techniques - Husqvarna 122HD45 Operator's Manual

If the blades get stuck, they can be loosened by
sticking the combination spanner into the gear
housing. Remove the lubricant plug and stick the
combination spanner into the gearing and turn it back
and forth.
Safety instructions after completing work
• The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
• Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can
easily cause cuts.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

Basic working techniques

• Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides.
• Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
• When trimming a hedge the engine should always
face away from the hedge.
• Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance.
• Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
• Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.

The hedge trimmer's rear handle can be set in five
positions by pulling out the catch. See figure. When the
handle is adjusted, the hedge trimmer must be idling or
not running.
• While working the handle should always be facing
upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is
directed.
