trimmer correctly (see paragraph 4
Assembly) (pls refer to Brush Cutter
manual. The same conditions apply).
STARTING THE ENGINE
1)
Position the hedge trimmer in a safe
starting position.
2)
Position the cutting blades at an angle
(fig. 7)
3)
Remove the blade guards. The blades
must not touch the ground or any other object –
if possible, rest the reduction unit on a raised
surface (such as on raised ground, a brick or a
log).
4)
Get into a stable position.
5)
With the left hand, push hard the
equipment on the ground.
6)
Do not rest the foot or the knee onto the
shaft.
7)
Start the engine as shown in the Brush
Cutter manual (fig. 16).
WARNING – DANGER!! If the engine
starts and stays in the half
acceleration position, the blades are
moving. Let the engine turn for a
few seconds to make sure it warms up.
Operate the trigger once to reduce the
engine speed to idle and stop the blades.
WARNING – DANGER!! If the blades
do not stop when the engine
reaches idle speed, contact a
service center.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1)
To stop the engine, move the switch (fig. 17
item 1) to the
“OFF”
position.
WARNING! The cutting device will
continue to move for some time after
having switched off the product
(switch to the “OFF” position). Firmly hold
the two handles until the cutting
device comes to a complete stop.
WARNING! Familiarize yourself with
the on/off switch in order to react
promptly in case of emergency.
