Use of the Petrol Hedge Trimmer

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

rotating handle (20) 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.
• Do not use this equipment for purposes other than trimming shrubs, hedges, or bushes.
