damaged. Repair any damage.

switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped

Safety instructions after completing work
• The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
• Shut off the machine. Never leave the machine
unsupervised with the motor running.
• When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing,
inspection or storage, shut off the power source,
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and make sure all moving parts have come to stop.
Allow the machine to cool before performing any
actions in the engine compartment.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can
easily cause cuts.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.

face away from the hedge.
WORKING TECHNIQUES

get the best balance.

• When the handle is locked in it's new position, you can
aplly throttle again.
• While working the handle should always be facing
upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is
directed.
You can swivel the handle even with the engine idling
because the hedge trimmer is equipped with a blade
break that maintains the blade set a standstill.
