■ HOW TO USE
HANDLE (CHTZ2460/CHTZ2460L only)
To reduce fatigue when trimming hedges,
the handle can be swivelled through 90°
to the left or right. (OP7, OP8).
Do not press the throttle during this
operation !
Proceed as follows:
1. Free the handle by pressing the locking
lever; (OP7)
2. Turn the handle until the locking lever
clicks into place;
3. When the handle is locked in its new
position, you can apply the throttle
again.

You can swivel the handle even with the
engine idling because the hedge-trimmer
is equipped with a blade brake that
maintains the blades at a standstill.
■ HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the
top.
Vertical cut:
• With the single-sided blade hedge-
trimmer, model HTZ2460/HTZ2460L
always cut from the bottom up (OP9).
• With the 2-sided blade model
CHTZ2460/CHTZ2460L use an arcing
cut from the bottom upwards, then
downwards to use both sides of the
blades (OP10).
Horizontal cut:
• In order to get the best cutting results,
slightly tilt the blade (5°–10°) towards
the cutting direction (OP11, OP12).
Cut slowly, specially with thick hedges.
Always follow the safety precautions.
• The hedge-trimmer must only be
used to trim hedges or small
bushes. It is forbidden to cut other
types of material. Do not use the
hedge-trimmer as a lever to lift,
move or break objects, nor lock it on
fixed supports. It is forbidden to
apply tools or applications that are
not the ones indicated by the
manufacturer onto the hedge-
trimmer’s power take-off. Do not use
it for pruning trees or cutting grass.
• Use only as much throttle as is needed
to do the job. Excessive engine speed
is unnecessary.
• Avoid cutting thick branches, for which
will damage the blades and shorten the
life of drive systems.
• Always keep your body to the
carburetor side of your trimmer, never
on the muffler side.
•When a new machine is first operated,
in the first few minutes grease may
come out of the gear case. But, since
this is excess grease, there is no cause
for alarm. Just wipe it off with the
engine stopped for next use.
• Always remember that the TIP of the
line does cutting. You will achieve
better results by not crowding the line
into the cutting area. Allow the unit to
trim at its own pace.
