3. Trimming techniques

• This attachment is designed for trimming hedges and small branches. Follow these tips

for successful operation.

• Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch will fall.

• Long branches should be trimmed in several pieces.

• Do not stand directly beneath branch being cut.

• Apply a light cutting pressure.

• Ease cutting pressure when nearing end of cut to maintain control.

4. Maintenance

Gear case (Fig. 4-1)

Apply a good quality lithium based grease through the

grease fittings.

NOTE!

Lubrication should be applied at 50 hour intervals and more

frequent at heavy use.

Cutter blade (Fig. 4-2, 3)

The blades are installed to the cutter guide with three to five bolts

depending on cutter length. Those bolts are tightened with a

clearance so that the cutters can move smoothly.

When clearance is too small:

The cutters do not move properly and the sliding surfaces may

seize.

When clearance is too large:

The cutters are poor in sharpness.

To adjust the cutter clearance:

1. Loosen the cutter fixing nuts.

2. Fully tighten the cutter fixing bolts and then loosen them

approx. 1/2 turn.

3. With the bolts set at that position, tighten the cutter fixing

nuts.

Be sure to replace cutter guide fixing bolts when they are loosened, worn or damaged. Also be sure

to replace damaged cutter blade.

NOTE!

Properly lubricate the cutter sliding surfaces with machine oil.
