DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND ITS RANGE OF USE
This machine is a garden tool, and precisely a
portable hedge trimmer with petrol engine for
home use.
The machine is basically composed of a power
unit and a pair of serrated blades that are driv-
en by a mechanism that provides an alternating
straight movement.
The safety systems impede accidental move-
ments of the blades while the operator is absent.
Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured
for cutting and adjusting hedges that consist of
bushes with small branches that are in propor-
tion to the machine's characteristics.
Improper use
Any other use differing from the above men-
tioned ones could be hazardous and harm peo-
ple and/or damage things. Examples of improper
use may include, but are not limited to:
- cutting grass in general and in particular close
to curbs;
- s hredding of materials for composting;
- p runing;
- u se of the machine for cutting non-plant ma-
terial;
- u se of the machine by more than one person.
Improper use of the machine will invalidate the
warranty, relieve the manufacturer from all liabil-
ities, and the user will consequently be liable for
all and any damage or injury to himself or others.
