6.3 START-UP
1. Remove the protective bar cover (Fig. 1.I).
2. Make sure the bar and the chain are not
touching the ground or any other object.
3. Fit the battery inside its housing
correctly (par. 7.2.3).
4. Press the throttle lock button (Fig. 5.B)
and throttle control lever. (Fig. 5.A) .
6.4 OPERATION :
Before addressing for the first time
the cut and the regularization of
shrubs and hedges, make sure:
– you have been specifically trained
to use this type of equipment;
– you have carefully read the safety
regulations and user instructions
contained in this manual;
– you practise first in order to get
familiar with the machine and the
most suitable cutting techniques.
No damage to the casing,
no liquid leakage
No signs of damage
or wear
The levers must move
freely and not be forced.
No abnormal vibrations.
No abnormal sound
Result
The blade must not move
The throttle control lever
remains blocked.
The levers must move
freely and not be forced.
The chain moves.
The lever automatically
and rapidly returns to
the idle position.
The blade should stop.
To operate with the machine
proceed as described below:.
• Always wear the harness
correctly (see par. 6.1.1)
• The machine must always be firmly held in
both hands, with the left hand on the front
handgrip and the right hand on the rear
handgrip, even if the operator is left-handed.
Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when blades
are moving. Make sure the machine
is off when removing cut material.
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
6.4.1 Work techniques
It is recommended to trim the two vertical
sides of the hedge before trimming the top.
NOTE Battery power reserve (and
therefore the cuttable vegetation surface
before recharging is required) depends on
many factors described in (par. 7.2.1).
6.4.1.a
Vertical cutting
Proceed by cutting using curved movements
from the bottom towards the top, keeping the
blade as far from the body as possible (Fig. 8).
6.4.1.b
Horizontal cutting
The best results will be obtained with the
blade (Fig. 9) slightly inclined (0° - 15°)
in the direction you are cutting, proceed
with a curved movement, slowly and
without interruptions, especially in the
case of very thick hedges (Fig. 9).
6.4.2 Advice for operation
If the blades block while running or get
caught up in the hedge branches:
1. stop the machine immediately (par. 6.5);
2. wait for the cutting means to come to a halt;
3. remove the battery (par. 7.2.2);
4. Remove the jammed material.
