Improper handling can cause accidents which may in turn lead to serious injury or death. For this
reason, you should always be careful to adhere to the following instructions when using your
hedgetrimmer.
Never hold the hedgetrimmer in a way in which the blades are pointing towards someone else.
Never allow the blades to come into contact with your body.
Always turn off the engine before adjusting the hedgetrimmer, removing branches which have
become stuck in the blades, or at any other time when coming into close proximity with the
blades.
Always wear thick work gloves when adjusting the hedgetrimmer.
Always place the blade cover provided over the blades when not in use.
Falling branches may fall onto the operator’s body or head, resulting in injuries, scratches and
cuts, and for this reason you should always wear a helmet when operating the hedgetrimmer.
Safe Handling of Fuel
The engine of the hedgetrimmer is designed to run on a two-stroke oil/fuel mixture. This fuel
is highly flammable, never store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank in any place where there is a
source of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel.
Do not smoke whilst operating the hedgetrimmer or refilling, keep lit cigarettes away from the
hedgetrimmer at all times.
When refilling the fuel tank always stop the engine first and carefully make sure that there are no
sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilled
onto the hedgetrimmer before starting the engine.
After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and carry the hedgetrimmer to a
spot 5 metres or more away from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.
