Operation
4 Hold the machine firmly, pointing downwards, so that
you do not lose control when starting the motor using
the pull-cord. Failure to comply with this can result
in a sudden jerk or in contact with the cutting blade,
and thus to severe injury, material damage, and/or da-
mage to the machine.
5 Pull the starter handle slowly by 10 to 15 cm until you
feel resistance.
6 Pull strongly on the starter handle. In doing so, you
feel resistance, and the motor starts.
7 Let the motor run for about one minute at an appro-
priate speed before applying full power.
Stopping the machine
1 Completely release the throttle lever.
2 Set the ON/OFF button to "O" (off). The motor runs
down and stops.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Maintenance instructions

Be considerate of the environment and of your neigh-
bours. Always try to operate the hedge trimmer at the
lowest possible noise and pollutant emissions. Above
all, confirm that the carburettor is set correctly.
Clean the hedge trimmer regularly, and check that all
bolts and nuts are firmly tightened.
Never maintain or store the hedge trimmer in proximity
to open flames or sparks (fire hazard).
Switch off the motor and disconnect the spark plug lead before cleaning/replacing/sharpening the
cutting blade or carrying out other maintenance work.
Store the hedge trimmer in a well ventilated location. The storage must be high enough or lockable,
in order that children cannot access the hedge trimmer.
Undertake only those repairs on the hedge trimmer for which you are sufficiently qualified.
Never straighten or weld damaged cutting machines.
With the motor switched off, check the cutting blade regularly for damage.
Ensure that cutting tools are always correctly sharpened.
The knives are sharp; therefore always wear safety gloves when handling and sharpening the
knives.
