proach cautiously to an obstacle and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle.
Mowing with brush cutter and hedge trimmer
- Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood, rank growth, young tree populations
(trunk diameter of maximum 2 cm), and high grass.
- While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a
solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is hurled backwards
against the rotating direction.
- To cut rank growth and brushwood, you “immerse” the cutting blade from the top.
WARNING! Be especially careful, when using this working technique, because the
further away the cutting tool is from the ground, the higher is the risk that ob-
jects to be cut and particles will be hurled sideways.
WARNING! Incorrect use and misuse can damage the cutting tool and cause se-
vere injuries because of pieces hurled away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting blade, take note of follow-
ing points:
- Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is larger than 2 cm.
- Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
- Periodically check the cutting blade for damages. Never continue to use a damaged cut-
ting blade.
- When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt, it must be sharpened according to
instructions. When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance, it must be replaced.
Working with pole saw
Precautions for saw procedure:
- Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use special caution when working with
branches under tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury caused by falling
branches and catapulting pieces of wood.
- In general, it is recommended to set the pole saw at an angle of 60 ° to the ground.
- Keep both hands well with the device during the cutting process and pay you up to an
equilibrium position and a good level.
- Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of control of your tool can cause seri-
ous injury or death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other unstable surfaces.
- Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter bar.
- Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
- Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but you do not overload the motor.
- Clear the work area before cutting interfering branches and undergrowth. Then you cre-
ate a retreat area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on, and remove any ob-
