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 trimmer 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 o the motor.
The attachment motor must be stopped
before any adjustment, maintenance or
repair can be carried out on the Hedge
trimmer.
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
trimmer is attached. Low tyre pressure
increases the risk of roll-overs. (Picture 3)

2.1 Assembly / Disassembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic machine
must be in the unlocked position. (Picture 1)
Tips!
Raise the hedge trimmer front wheels free of the ground
and lower the support struts, so that the hedge trimmer
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
trimmer 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 base machine until the hedge trimmer is freely
suspended above the ground. (Picture 4)
4. Switch o the engine.

(Picture 2)
7. Removal:

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.

3.1 Cleaning
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the lifetime of
both the machine and the attachment.
Clean the hedge trimmer with water after use.
Avoid high-pressure cleaning of the snap couplings.
Wipe snap couplings clean with a cloth. (Picture 1)
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 eective trimming and reduces wear and tear on
the hedge trimmer.
Blade replacement must only be carried out by an
authorised Egholm dealer
