6.4 USING THE BRUSHCUTTER
Be sure that you have installed the correct accessory.
-
Do not use the brushcutter for cutting trees.
-
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged meal blade.
Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes or strands of wire from
-
broken fences. If an obstruction cannot be removed, mark its location so that you can avoid it with the
blade. Rocks and metal will dull or damage a blade. Wire can catch on the blade head and flap around
or be thrown into the air.
-
Use the shoulder harness at all times adjust both harness and harness clamp on the unit so that the
unit hangs a few inches above ground level .The cutting head and the debris shield should be level in
all directions. Harness the unit on the right side of your body.
-
Cut only with the side of the blade that the debris is moving away from you.
-
If kickback occurs, the blade may be dull, or the material so thick and hard that you should use other
tool instead of this machine.
-
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the angle of cut after into the wood. Avoid using any
pressure or leverage which could cause the blade to bind or crack.
Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds.
Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one way which results in the debris being thrown away
from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the blade slightly on this same
side. You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both directions.
6.5 USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
When using the machine on lawns, hold the scythe at an angle of 30 ° and perform semicircular
movements by sweeping the ground from left to right.
The best results are obtained when the grass is 15 cm high. When the grass is higher, we recommend
repeating the mowing several times.
Warning! Never place the cutting head on the ground while the machine is running.
-
It is recommended to cut the trapezoidal hedges to prevent the lower branches from being stripped.
This corresponds to the natural growth of plants and hedges can be potentially prosperous. The cut
makes the new annual shoots reduced, so a dense branching and a good protection of the sight must
be considered.
-
First cut the edges of a hedge. Move the hedge trimmer to cut the part that grows greatly from bottom to
top. If you cut from top to bottom, the thinner branches move outward; Narrow places or holes may form.
-
Cut the top of the hedge, just like a roof or a round shape.
-
Cut the seedlings into the desired shape. The main stem must be intact and remain until the hedge
reaches the proposed elevation. All other shoots should be cut to half.
6.6 USING THE POLE PRUNER
Never use the tool at an angle of more than 60 °. The correct operation of the pruner is not impaired at
angles greater than 60 °, but the risk of injury increases due to sudden drops of branches. Pay attention to
the floor in front of you when using the appliance. This allows you to avoid tripping over branches on the
ground. Never use the saw without oil. Use a biodegradable chain oil. The pruning machine uses a low
rebound chain. In addition, special attention has been paid to the construction of the device to prevent the
smallest possible rebounds given the technical conditions given. Nevertheless, a slight rebound can not be
ruled out by using the upper cutting blade. Expect a rebound when using this side of the blade or when the
top of the blade comes into contact with another branch. The device should always be used with both
hands. The thin branches can be cut at once. To prevent a branch from splitting or bending, it is advisable
to slice it end to end. When slitting longer branches, the branch should be cut from the bottom. First cut the
branch from below at a point away from where you want to saw the branch. The notch must have a depth
between one third and one half the thickness of the branch. This prevents the branch from breaking when
you cut it from the top a little further away from the trunk. To finish, saw the stump by making a straight cut.
If you wish, you can seal the cut using a suitable product.
