Use of cordless hedge trimmer
For your and others safety:
Do not use machine without having read instructions carefully. Familiarize
yourself with the controls and proper use of the machine. You must know how to
quickly stop the hedge trimmer.
Only use the machine for its intended use, which is "cutting or pruning plant
hedges with small branches". Any other use can be dangerous and cause
serious damage to the machine.
Examples of misuse include, but are not limited to:
- Mowing lawn in general, and, in particular, near ditches;
- Cutting material for compost;
- Use the machine to cut non-vegetable material.
Residual risks: Even if you follow all safety rules there may be some residual
risk, which can not be ruled out. Depending on the type and design of the tool,
the foreseeable potential hazard may be:
Contact with unprotected cutting teeth.
Fingers or hands on moving blade.
Unexpected and sudden movement of the blade.
Sharp stems or falling debris and cut material can damage your eyes. Wear eye
protection at all times.
Possible damage to hearing, if hearing protection is not used.
Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or damage to
other people or property.
Always wear appropriate clothing when using the tool.
Use the hedge trimmer only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Thoroughly inspect the entire work area before starting and remove any items
that may be thrown by the hedge trimmer or damage the cutting device
(branches, wires, hidden electrical wiring, etc.).
Be careful with the debris ejected from the device at high speed.

Stop the engine and remove the battery from the machine:
- Every time you leave the machine unattended;
- Before checking, cleaning or working with the hedge trimmer;
- After hitting some strange object.
Check the machine for any damage and perform repairs before turning it on again.
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, immediately look for the cause of the
vibration and correct it.
When the machine is not in use:
- Always keep your hands and feet away from the edges, especially when starting the
machine.
Operating Instructions
When using the machine, hold the machine with both hands.
NOTE: The battery is equipped with a protection system that prevents it from
operating when fully discharged. The power tool will turn off automatically when the
battery is discharged. If this happens, you should recharge it quickly.
Immediately stop the machine if the blades jam.
Vertical trimming (Fig. 7) (page 82)
It is recommended to cut the two vertical sides of the hedge before the top. Do it with
curved movements from top to bottom, keeping the blade as far as possible from your
body.
Horizontal trimming (Fig. 8 and 9) (page 82)
The best results will be obtained with the blade slightly inclined (5 ° - 10 °) in the
direction in which you are cutting. Proceed with a curved, slow and uninterrupted
movement, especially in the case of leafy hedges.
