USING THE MACHINE / MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
3. WORKING TECHNIQUES
It is recommended to trim the two vertical sides of
the hedge before trimming the top.
• Vertical trimming (Fig. 4)
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. 5)
The best results will be obtained with the blade
slightly inclined (5° - 10°) in the direction you are
cutting, proceed with a curved movement, slowly
and without interruptions, especially in the case of
very thick hedges.
4. LUBRICATING THE BLADES DURING
JOBS (Fig. 6)
If the trimming device overheats whilst working, it
is necessary to lubricate the internal surfaces of the
blades.

8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

WARNING!
of others:
– After each use, remove the accumulator
from its compartment and check for dam-
age.
– Correct maintenance is essential to maintain
the original efficiency and safety of the ma-
chine over time.
– Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working con-
dition.
– Never use the machine with worn or dam-
aged parts. Damaged parts are to be re-
placed and never repaired.
– Only use original spare parts. Parts that are
not of the same quality can seriously dam-
age the equipment and compromise safety.
WARNING!
move the accumulator from its compartment.
1. MOTOR COOLING
To avoid overheating and damage to the motor, al-
ways keep the cooling air vents clean and free of
sawdust and debris.
This operation must only
For your safety and that
During maintenance, re-
be performed when the blades have stopped
running and the motor is switched off.
5. END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
– Switch off the motor as indicated above (Chap.
6).
WARNING!
before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce fire hazards, clean the machine
thoroughly to get rid of any remains of grass,
leaves or excess grease, never leave contain-
ers with the cut debris inside the storage area.
To increase the efficiency and working life of the
blades, clean and lubricate them carefully after
each work session.
– Use a soft cloth to clean the blades, along with
a brush to remove more difficult dirt and debris.
– Lubricate the blades with suitable, non-polluting
oil were possible.
2. MAINTENANCE AND SHARPENING
OF THE BLADE
WARNING!
blades are not bent or damaged and that the
fixed comb on the blade is intact.
Adjustment of the distance between blades is not
necessary, as this is predetermined by the manu-
facturer.
If the blades are used correctly, following all the in-
structions provided, they will not require any main-
tenance work and will not need sharpening.
It is necessary to sharpen the blades only when the
trimming performance decreases and the branches
tend to stick together.
NOTE
should always be conducted at a specialised Cen-
tre that has the most appropriate tools and is able
to perform the operations without compromising the
safety of the machine.
