Care And Maintenance; Troubleshooting Guide - Cotech 18-4370 Bedienungsanleitung

Cutting/trimming
• Make sure that there are no hidden obstacles
(metal poles/wire fences) in the area to be trimmed.
• Max twig thickness: 4 mm.
• Hold the trimmer firmly; maintain a steady stance
and do not lean out too far. Be extra careful when
using a ladder.
• Move the trimmer along in a slow and steady
motion.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables trimming in
both directions or in a pendulum action from
side to side.
• For even trimming on the sides it is better to cut in
the direction of growth, from the bottom up. If you
cut from the top down, the thinner twigs will bend
out and there is a risk of holes or thin patches
appearing in your hedge.
• In order to ensure a straight top edge, you can
stretch a length of string over the hedge as a guide.

Care and maintenance

Note! Remove the battery before cleaning or adjusting the trimmer. Wear protective gloves when handling
or cleaning the blades.
• Regularly check that the on/off switches and safety lock are undamaged and work correctly.
• Regularly check the condition of the blades and make sure that all fasteners in the cutter bar (2) are tight.
• Coat the cutter bar and blades with preserving oil if the trimmer is not to be used for a long time.
• Clean the exterior of the trimmer with a soft brush and cloth.
• Do not use any water, solvents or polishes.
• Remove all dirt, especially from around the motor's ventilation slits.
• Store the trimmer in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures below zero.
• Always fit the blade sheath over the cutter bar when the trimmer is not in use.
