Never use the hedge cutter with articulated arm without
sound-absorber.
Ensure adequate ventilation when you use the hedge
cutter with articulated arm. The exhaust gases can
cause serious injury or death. Never start the engine in
closed rooms.
Check that there are no fasteners are missing or are
loose and that the stop switch and throttle are working
properly.
If the hedge cutter is stuck, switch off the engine
immediately. Push the twigs or branch to the side and
free the hedge cutter.
Make sure that the blade is aligned properly before
using the hedge cutter with articulated arm. Never
adjust the blade when the engine is running. Make sure
that no fuel flows out from the tank, the lid, the fuel line
and the carburettor or other parts, from which fuel can
leak out.
Repair the device if fuel leaks and make sure that there
is no leakage any more.
Safety instructions in case of backlash and
jamming

Through setbacks or jamming, you could lose control
over the hedge cutter and injure yourself seriously. Do
not rely on yourself alone with regard to the integrated
safety device of the hedge cutter. You will need to take
various measures so that no accidents or injuries can
occur.
1. Be prepared for backlashes or jamming. Avoid or
eliminate the element of surprise.
Surprise moments contribute to accidents.
