Preparation For Cutting; Working Techniques - EGO HTA2000-FC Manual Del Operador

PREPARATION FOR CUTTING

Refer to "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" earlier in this manual for appropriate safety
equipment.
1. Adjust the cutting blade to the desired working position.
2. Remove the blade guard from the blade.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

◾
Horizontal Cutting (with blade at
an angle)
Cut close to the ground from a
standing position, e.g. for trimming
low shrubs.
Swing the blade right and left as you
move along the hedge – use both
sides of the blades and do not rest the
cutter blade on the ground (Fig. 9).
◾
Horizontal Cutting (with straight
blade)
Hold the blade at an angle of 0° to
10° as you slowly swing the hedge
trimmer horizontally. Swing the
blade in an arc towards the outsides
of the hedge so that the cuttings are
swept to the ground (Fig. 10).
Recommendation: Cut hedges that
are no more than chest height in
this working position.
◾
Vertical Cutting (with blade at an angle)
This is useful when cutting without standing directly next to the hedge, e.g. , there
is a flowerbed between operator and hedge.
In this situation, it is best to connect the hedge trimmer to the power head in the
side-cutting position (see Fig. 5).
