f. Using the hedge trimmer
When cutting always hold the machine firmly with both hands.

completely flat. The power tool will automatically switch off when the accumulator is flat.
If this happens, it must be promptly be recharged.
Immediately stop the trimmer if the blades jam.
Vertical trimming (FIG 7)
It is recommended to trim the two vertical slides of the hedge before trimming the top.
Proceed to cut by using curved movements from the bottom towards the top, keeping
the blade as far from the body as possible.
Horizontal trimming (FIG 8 and 9)
The best results will be obtained with the blade slightly inclined (5º-10º) in the direction
you are cutting, proceed with a curved movement, slowly and without interruptions,
especially in the case of very thick hedges.
Lubricating the blades (FIG 10)
If the trimming device overheats whilst working, it is necessary to lubricate the internal
surfaces of the blades.
Warning! This operation must be only performed when the blades have stopped, the
trimmer is switched off and the battery removed.
When you have finished your work:
-
Switch off the motor as indicated
-
Allow the motor to cool before storing in any enclosure
