WARNING!
Do not start the motor in any other way (6) !
Use the hedge trimmer for its designated purpose only.
Start the motor of the hedge trimmer only when the
hedge trimmer is fully assembled. Operation of the
hedge trimmer is permitted only when all equipment
specified for its operation has been fitted to it.
Before starting the hedge trimmer, ensure that blade is not touching any object e.g. branches,
stones, etc.
Stop the motor immediately if there are any problems with it.
While operating the hedge trimmer, firmly hold both the front and rear handles by placing your fin-
gers around the handles. Ensure that the handles are clean and free of moisture, oil, and lubricants.
Always ensure a stable, balanced stance.
This machine must be used only in the open air.
Pay continuous attention to the working environment, and stay prepared for possible dangerous
situations of which you may not be aware because of the noise created by the motor.
Always operate the hedge trimmer in such a way that you do not inhale the exhaust fumes. Never
run the motor in enclosed spaces (danger of asphyxiation and gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide
is an odourless gas. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at all times.
Stop the motor when you take a break or when you are leaving the hedge trimmer unsupervised.
Place the hedge trimmer in a secure location in a safe place where it cannot endanger people,
and where ignition of flammable materials and damage to the machine cannot occur.
Never place the hot hedge trimmer on dry grass or other flammable materials.
Always keep the motor and silencer free of trimmings, leaves, and excess lubricant, in order to
avoid the danger of a fire.
Never operate the motor if the exhaust silencer is damaged.
Stop the motor before transporting the machine. (7)
Stop the motor before the following activities:
– Removing a blockage,
– carrying out inspections, maintenance work, or
other work on the machine.
When transporting in a vehicle, lay the hedge trimmer
down in a safe position, so that leakage of fuel is avo-
ided.
Before transporting the hedge trimmer, ensure that the
fuel tank is completely empty, so that leakage of fuel
is avoided.
Before transporting or storage, always place the cover
on the cutting blade.
Before you start cutting with the hedge trimmer, in-
spect the working area for wires, string, glass, and
other foreign bodies which could come into contact
with the cutting blade.
Electric shock: You must beware of all types of electric wiring and electric fences. Examine the
complete working area for electric wires and cables before using the hedge trimmer.
When starting the motor, and during operation, you must avoid any contact with the cutting blade.
During operation, all protective devices provided with the machine, such as covers, must be cor-
rectly attached to the machine.
