1.1 Safety
NB
As it is articulated, the rear end of the
machine swings out when turning.
Make sure that no one stands near the
machine while it is in use.
(Picture 1)
Make sure no one stands close to
the machine while it is in use
To avoid the risk of personal injury,
stay clear of the cutting bar when it is
being lowered and tilted.
Cover the cutting bar when the
Hedge cutter is not in use or during
transport
Remove the cover immediately prior to
use. (Picture 2)
In the case of maintenance or repair,
always switch off the motor
The attachment motor must be
stopped before any adjustment,
maintenance or repair can be carried
out on the Hedge cutter.
Avoid roll-overs
Do not drive the machine in a place
where it can slide, tip or roll. Do not
drive on slopes with an incline of more
than 10 degrees. The tyre pressure
must be checked and adjusted to 1.5
bar (22 psi) when the Hedge cutter is
attached. Low tyre pressure increases
the risk of roll-overs. (Picture 3)
Transport
Only transport the Hedgecutter when
packed in transportation position.

2.1 Assembly / Disassembly -
continued
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the
basic machine must be in the unlocked position.
(Picture 1)
Tips!
Raise the Hedge cutter front wheels free of the
ground and lower the support struts, so that the
Hedge cutter A-frame is angled back.
This makes it much easier to ‘catch’ the A-frame
when attaching. (Picture 2)
2. Drive the machine right up to the A-frame of the
Hedge cutter so the A-frames t into each other.
(Picture 3)
3. Raise the A-frame using lever A on the left-hand
side of the Basic machine until the Hedge cutter
is freely suspended above the ground. (Picture 4)
4. Switch off the engine.

Horizontal/vertical hedge trimming on the left
side
1. Activate Lever B until the cutting bar reaches
the required position.
2. To trim at higher horizontal/vertical positions:
Activate Lever C to raise the cutting arm to the
required height. Use Lever B to reposition the
cutting bar.
Tips!
Trim hedges and bushes from below, i.e. with
the cutting bar turned with the outer part down,
so that the skid just touches the ground. Start
trimming.
The cutting bar is then raised higher up the
hedge, so that the same section is trimmed all the
way to the top. (Picture 1)
Operating speed
Depending on the conditions, an operating speed
of 1–3 km/h is recommended.

3.2 Maintenance
Check all the bolts and tighten if required after a
few hours of operation, and once every season
thereafter.
Lubricate blades and blade holders every two
hours. (Picture 2)
Lubricating nipples on all moveable parts must be
re-lled at least once every season. (Picture 3)
Defective blades must be replaced immediately.
This ensures effective trimming and reduces
wear and tear on the Hedge cutter.
