knives of the hedge trimmer.
•
Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop the blades with your hand.
Angle adjustment
•
By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can be adjusted to the working conditions.
•
Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has been turned off.
•
Push both levers down and put the cutter head in the required position.
•
Release both levers until they click into place in the notch.
•
Before use, check that the adjustment levers have locked into place properly.
•
Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before starting work, with environmentally friendly
lubricant.
•
Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well. Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has
been turned off.
•
Caution: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of
pieces hurled away.
•
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting lade, take note of following points:
e. Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use chain oil sold in specialized stores.
•
Remove the oil tank cap.
•
Fill the chain oil tank to 80% with chain oil.
•
Close Oil tank cap.
Oil Supply Control
•
Always make sure that the automatic oil system is working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full.
During sawing work, the guide and the chain must always be sufficiently oiled to reduce friction with the
chain bar.
•
The chain bar and the chain must never be without oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil,
the cutting performance will decrease, the service life of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will
become blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to overheating. You can detect a lack of oil
from smoke development or the guide changing colour.
•
To check the chain lubrication, keep the chain on a piece of paper and give full throttle for a few
seconds. On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked. The saw chain must always throw off a little
oil. After a few seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible.
Automatic chain lubrication
You can reduce or increase the quantity of oil using the screw.
•
Clockwise - oil quantity is reduced (-)
•
Anti-clockwise - oil quantity is increased (+)
Precautions for saw procedure
•
Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use special caution when working with branches under
tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces
of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the pruning saw at an angle of 60 ° to the road.
•
Keep both hands well with the device during the cut- ting process and pay you up to an equilibrium
position and a good level.
•
Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of control of your tool can cause serious injury or
death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other unstable surfaces.
•
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter bar.
•
Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
•
Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but you do not overload the motor.
•
Clear the work area before cutting interfering branches and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat
area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on and remove any obstacles there. Keep the work
area clean, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay attention to your point, wind direction and the
possible direction of fall of the branches. Be prepared that fallen branches can strike back. Place all
other tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the retreat area.
