The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming
line to the correct length. Run the trim line approach
cautiously to an obstacle and cut with the tip of the
line around the obstacle.
Mowing with hedge trimmer
• Use the hedge trimmer to comb through brush-
wood, rank growth and young tree populations
• Hold the string trimmer at a safe distance away
from your body with two hands.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the
wood's type, age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch
shears to your desired length before trimming the
hedge.
• Thanks to the its double­sided cutting unit, the
string trimmer can be moved forward and back-
ward or from one side to the other swinging it back
and forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top
edge.
• Cut the hedges from bottom to the top.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape. This prevents
the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to
insufficient light.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the
hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of
the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a
large portion of the hedge.
• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the
hedges (e.g. wire), since it may damage the cutting
unit of the hedge cutters.
• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop
the blades with your hand.
Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every
6 weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so,
put off hedge trimming or leave this area out.
Angle adjustment
By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can
be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to
­75°. Fig. 42.
• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has
been turned off.
• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in
the required position. Fig. 41
• Release both levers until they click into place in
the notch.
• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have
clicked into place properly. Fig. 42

Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time
before starting work, with environmentally friendly lu-
bricant.
Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well.
Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been
turned off.
CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage
the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of
pieces hurled away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting
blade, take note of following 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 cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt,
it must be sharpened according to instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of bal-
ance, it must be replaced.
Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
• Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig. 47 / L)
• Fill the chain oil tank (Fig. 47 / M) to 80% with chain
oil.
• Close Oil tank cap (Fig. 47 / L)
Oil Supply Control
Always make sure that the automatic oil system is
working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full.
During sawing work, the guide and the chain must
always be sufficiently oiled to reduce friction with the
chain bar.
The chain bar and the chain must never be without
oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil,
the cutting performance will decrease, the service
life of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will become
blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to
overheating. You can detect a lack of oil from smoke
development or the guide changing colour.
To check the chain lubrication keep the chain on a
piece of paper and give full throttle for a few seconds.
On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked. The
saw chain must always throw off a little oil. After a
few seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible.
Make sure that there is always enough oil in the tank
because chain lubrication is always on.
