not attempt to alter the machine to increase its capacity.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised when it is running. Switch o the engine and apply the
parking brake when you leave the equipment – even for a short period.
• Never leave the machine in a raised position. There can be a loss of pressure in the hydraulics and
the machine can drop to the ground.
• Make sure that all guards are tted and cannot come loose before use. The machine may only be
used in the way described in this operating manual. Do not attempt to use or cut other materials
such as metal and hard plastic.
• Operate a new machine at low speed for the rst few hours, not at high speed and with a full
load.
• Avoid getting oil on your skin. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Only the operator may be present in the vicinity of the machine while in operation.
• Do not use the machine without ensuring that all guards are correctly tted.
• To avoid accidents, inspect the work area and remove any harmful objects such as large stones
and large branches, etc. before starting the work.
• Do not operate the machine if it is vibrating substantially; stop the machine immediately and
check the machine.
• Do not use the machine in inclement weather or in reduced visibility, e.g. in thick fog.
• Exercise caution when working near power lines and telephone lines.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always wear suitable clothing and shoes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery while work-
ing with the machine or the product. Long hair should be tied up when working with equip-
ment that has moving parts. Use protective gloves to avoid the risk of burns if hot surfaces
such as exhaust pipes are touched, and to avoid oil and petrol getting in contact with the skin.
Ear defenders must be worn whilst the engine is running. Helmet and face shield are recom-
mended when using the machine.
SURROUNDINGS
Check that the work area is free from bystanders, children and objects before hitching or us-
ing the equipment. There is a risk of serious injury. Be extra careful if there are children in the
vicinity of the area where the equipment or product is used or stored. Check that there are no
low-hanging electrical cables within the work area. Exercise caution when working on slopes
and close to ditches.
BEFORE USE
Carefully read the safety instructions and the operating instructions. Make sure that you un-
derstand the safety instructions, operating instructions and warning decals. Use common
sense when using the product and suitable personal protective equipment.
Always check the performance of the machine combination to be used. It is important that
these are compatible and work satisfactorily together. This is to ensure that the equipment or
product works as expected, and to guarantee the safety of yourself and others.
Carry out a visual inspection of the equipment or product before use. Repair or replace dam-
aged or worn parts immediately to reduce the risk of injury. Grease moving parts and check
that all nuts and bolts are tightened. Correct if necessary.
Learn and remember the correct working method. Beginners must work slowly until they have
learned how the machine or product works and can handle the situation.
If users feel that the machine is dangerous to use, it should not be used.
• Make sure that the equipment is connected correctly and cannot come loose.
• Inspect the work area before starting work and remove any objects that can cause an
accident.
• Check that all bolts are tightened before starting the machine.

Table of contents
USE
Only those who understand the safety instructions and the operating instructions may use the
equipment or product. There is a risk of crushing when working with equipment that has moving
parts. Exercise caution when working with equipment with hydraulic hoses as oil under pressure
can penetrate the skin. Immediately seek medical attention if this should occur. Always work alone
with equipment that is made for working alone. Respect the equipment’s risk zone.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN IN USE
• Use of the machine as a lifting tool is forbidden.
• Nor may it be used for digging of any kind or cutting other materials not described in this operat-
ing manual.
• When working in the dark, the vehicle used must be equipped with a rotating warning lamp and
the workplace must be well lit.
• Stabilisers must always be tted to the machine when it is not in use.
• Always check that there is no person or animal in the vicinity before operation.
• Under no circumstances should anyone be near the machine while it is in operation.
• Adjust the tractor’s speed when cutting dierent materials. The recommended speed when cut-
ting hedges is .– km/h.
The trimmer can be used in dierent positions:
• Laterally – to cut the side of the hedge.
• Bottom position for mowing tall or dry grass.
• The trimmer can be turned  degrees to cut the other side of the hedge.
• Top position for cutting above the hedge.
AFTER USE
• Switch o the trimmer. Important! Make sure that the blades have stopped before you discon-
nect the machine.
• Place the machine on the ground, t the stabilisers.
• Before you disconnect the hydraulic hoses, make sure there is no pressure left in the system.
• Switch o the tractor and apply the handbrake.
• Disconnect the machine from the tractor, making sure that it cannot tip over.
• Wash, rinse with water and dry if necessary. Lubricate all bearings and blades afterwards.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Check that the work area is free from bystanders, children and objects before driving o. Always
observe additional caution during transport and moving. Ensure that the equipment or product is
well anchored and existing transport lashings are tted. Always position the load as low as possible.
Respect the risk zones even during transport and moving. Do not permit anyone to walk under
suspended loads when carrying out lifts. Trailers used for transport should have brakes that work.
Always store the equipment or product on a dry surface, preferably under a roof, when not in use.
Ensure that the equipment or product is stable and cannot tip over. Never permit children to play at
the storage site. Be aware of the tipping risk!
• When the machine is in storage, it should be cleaned and all bearings and blades lubricated.
• The blade guard must always be tted when the machine is not in use.
RECYCLING
When scrapping, the equipment should be dismantled and transported
to a designated recycling station. Contact your local authority for further
information.
