5.3 Setting a working position

Attention! The accu must

be disconnected from

the tool and the cutting blade

sheath should remain in posi-

tion when setting the working

position !

Never take hold of the cutting

blade to turn the blade head

or to extend the telescopic

on the blade

handle!

Note: The cutting blade has

a total of 8 working positions

(12° increments from 0°/horizon-

tal to 84° elevation).

Adjustment to any of the 5 inter-

mediate settings for the 3 work-

ing positions described above

is made in the same manner.

The positions

scribed above are recommended

for straight forward handling.

Important! Always ensure that

the selected position snaps in

correctly. Danger of injury!

Select one of the basic working

positions
