Roller Set-up
The roller should be raised so that it is clear of the
top of the hedge. The adjustable front guard should
be set as low as possible without restricting the
ability of the hedge to enter the cutting head.
Normal hedge cutting
Flail is cutting upwards-reducing flying debris to
minimum and leaving a tidy finish. Open adjustable
front hood as required.
Rough cutting
Reverse rotation and remove front cowling if
necessary. Down cut is not good for the hedge and
leaves an untidy finish. Only use this position when
rough cutting in heavy growth.
Warning
Seek advice before reversing
direction of motor.
Optional belt drive rotor - use smaller pulley on
rotor shaft for 3100 rpm.
Do not remove cowling from the head when
cutting "up".
