machine there will be a higher risk of electric shock.
Never cut above shoulder level.
Do not get near the cutting elements of the machine
when the machine is functioning.
Do not rely solely on the security elements of the
machine.
It is important to check that all parts are well
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 one hand on the top handle
and the other hand on the back handle in such a
way that you can always act on the control switches
(accelerator and security switch).
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.
