WORKING TECHNIQUES Safety instructions after completing work The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use. Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the battery. Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. The blades are very sharp and can easily cause cuts. • Store the machine out of reach of children. • Use only original spare parts for repairs. Basic working techniques • Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides. (Figure 21) • When trimming a hedge the motor should always face away from the hedge. • Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance. (Figure 20) • Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground. • Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly. English -15
