symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and
fingers and are shown through loss of sensi-
tivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of
or structural changes to the skin. These
effects can be worsened by low ambient tem-
peratures and/or by gripping the handgrips
excessively tightly. If the symptoms occur,
the length of time the machine is used must
be reduced and a doctor consulted.

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. 7)
The best results will be obtained with the blade
slightly inclined (5° - 10°) in the direction you are
cutting, proceed with a curved movement, slow-
ly and without interruptions, especially in the ca-
se of very thick hedges.
