Operating Instructions

The operation of the rear rotating handle

1. The rotating handle can turn left or right up to 90°.
2. The rotating handle can only be adjusted when the machine is running at idling 

speed or in the off position however, it is recommended to adjust the rotating 
handle while the hedge trimer is off.
3. Slightly pull out the Rotating Handle Lock lever (17), turn slightly, then release, 
and continue to turn the rotating handle in your desired direction until the Rotating 
Handle Lock lever snaps back into position at the +- 90 Degree point.

 NOTE. 

 The hedge trimmer can only be used in the 3 preset positions of the rear handle.

Use of the petrol hedge trimmer

•  Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as 

a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

•  This product requires the use of two hands to ensure safe operation. Rotate the 

rear handle to the most comfortable operating position.

•  If unfamiliar with trimming techniques, practice the procedures with the engine in 

the “OFF” position.

•  Always clear your work area of debris such as cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Striking 

objects can cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders and also damage 
equipment. If an object is accidentally hit, immediately turn off the engine and 
examine the equipment. Never operate the unit with damaged or defective parts.

•  Do not operate the Hedge Trimmer with other people or animals in the immediate 

vicinity.

•   If you are operating it on a slope, stand below the cutting attachment. Do not operate 

on a slope or hill if there is the slightest chance of slipping or losing your footing.
