Trimming Operation - Honda HHH25D Manuel De L'utilisateur

7. TRIMMING OPERATION

Read and understand the safety instructions on pages 5 to 14 before operating
the hedge trimmer.
If you notice any abnormal sound, smell, vibration, or other unusual signs, stop
the engine immediately and consult your authorized Honda dealer.
Grip the handles with both your hands.
HHH25D: Use either of your hands for the front loop and use the other for the rear
handle (throttle grip).
HHH25S: Use your right hand for the front handle and use your left hand for the
rear handle (throttle grip).
CAUTION:
Do not use the hedge trimmer with one hand.
Do not operate the hedge trimmer if the operating cutter blade could reach
your feet. Your feet can get injured if the operating cutter blade touches your
feet.
NOTE:
This hedge trimmer is designed to trim the hedge, which is designed to cut off the
branches of up to 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter. Do not use the hedge trimmer to cut
off the thicker branches beyond the above limit and do not use it to cut a hard
material except a wood, either. It can damage the cutter blade and driving parts of
the gear case and possibly shorten the service life of them.
Basic operation:
• Operate the hedge trimmer with care and continual movement to prevent the
exhaust blowing onto one place of the hedge.
• When you grip the throttle lever with the engine running, the engine speed
increases and the cutter blade starts to operate. Adjust the engine speed
according to the size of a hedge.
CAUTION:
Increase the engine speed when you start to operate the hedge trimmer.
Operating the trimmer at a low engine speed may cause engine failures.
