up. This means that e.g. for 5 litres of petrol 1.125
litres of oil must be added.
CAUTION: Turn the engine off before refuelling.
The tank cap should be opened carefully so that the
existing overpressure could get slowly reduced and
fuel does not squirt. When working, the surface of the
hedge trimmer gets heated to a high temperature.
Before refuelling, let the appliance cool down.
Otherwise, fuel could get ignited and cause serious
burns. When refuelling, it is always necessary not to fill
up too much fuel. If the liquid pours over, remove it at
once and clean the appliance. After refuelling, make
always sure the screw cap is tightened to prevent it
from getting released due to vibrations produced when
working.
•
You must be at least 3 metres from the place of
refuelling.
•
Put the switch
(pic. A/3)
to the “ON“ position. At cold
starting, the choke switch
(pic. A/7)
must be shifted to
the left.
•
With the manual fuel pump
(pic. A/8)
it is possible to
supply fuel to the carburettor by pressing with your
thumb. In this manner, the number of starter pulls after
a long operating break will reduce.
•
Now put the hedge trimmer to the ground, put your feet
to the hand opening and grasp the guide handle
(pic.
A/6) with one hand. Pull the starter cable
(pic. A/1)
with another hand
until the engine starts.
CAUTION! Do not pull the cable too much;
Pay
attention to the rotating knife at the same time.
•
When the engine is running, press the hand throttle
(pic. A/4 up/down)
down several times. After some
four presses, the choke switch can be shifted to the
right again.
•
Use the valve
(pic. A/5)
to rotate the handle
(pic. C)
.
Operation (pic. A+E+D+F)
Remove the knife cover, with the engine being
turned off, before using the appliance.
The GUDE petrol hedge trimmer is fitted with an automatic
quick-stopping feature that stops the knife immediately after
releasing the hand throttle to prevent any injuries.
•
When trimming the hedge, follow regulations
applicable in your country or any local regulations.
•
Never trim at usual resting hours.
•
If branches exceed the maximum cutting power of the
appliance, they must be removed by the branch
shears first.
•
If any massive shearing is to be performed, shearing
must be repeated several times.
Use:
Trapezoidal cutting corresponds to the natural growth of
plants and allows hedges to thrive optimally.
•
Side areas should first be trimmed bottom-up. The
upper edge should be trimmed straight as you wish to
give a roof or rounded shape. In doing so, both sides
of the knife must be used.
•
If the knife is blocked by solid items, the appliance
must be switched off immediately and the jammed
item released subsequently.
•
Caution: Metal items, e.g. wire fences, plant supports,
etc. may damage the cutter bar.
•
The best cutting performance is achieved by guiding
the hedge trimmer in a way teeth of knives form an
angle with the hedge of app. 15°
(pic. E)
.
•
To achieve even height of the hedge, stretching a
guide line along the hedge is recommended. Cut off
any overlapping branches
(pic. D)
.
•
Side areas of the hedge are trimmed by arched
movements bottom-up
(pic. F)
.
Switching the appliance off:
To switch the appliance off, the switch
(pic. A/3)
must be put
to the “OFF“ position.
