Preparation
a)THE HEDGE TRIMMER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURIES! Read the instructions on correct
handling, preparation, maintenance, starting
and stopping the hedge trimmer very carefully.
Familiarise yourself with all manual controls and
the proper use of the hedge trimmer.
b) Children may never use the hedge
c) Beware of overhead power lines.
d) Do not use the hedge trimmer while anyone,
especially children, is in the vicinity.
e) Wear appropriate clothing! Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery which could get caught in
moving parts. We recommend wearing heavy-
duty gloves, non-slip footwear and goggles.
f)Handle fuel carefully. It is highly flammable and
the vapours are explosive. The following points
should be followed:
–Use only specially-designed containers.
–Never open the tank filler cap or top up the
petrol tank while the motor is running or hot.
Allow the motor and the exhaust components to
cool down before refuelling.
–Do not smoke.
–Refuel outside only.
–Never store the hedge trimmer or the fuel
tank in a room where there is an open flame, for
example in a hot water boiler.
–If the petrol has overflowed, do not attempt to
start the engine. Remove the machine from the
fuel-contaminated area before restarting.
–Always replace the filler cap after refuelling and
close it securely.
–If the tank is empty, this should be done in the
open.
g)If the cutting unit comes in contact with
a foreign object or if the operating noise
increases or the hedge trimmer starts to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and allow the hedge
trimmer to come to a standstill. Pull the spark
plug connector off the spark plug and take the
following action:
–check for damage;
–check for loose parts and secure all the loose
parts;
–replace damaged parts with equivalent parts or
have them repaired.
Wear ear protection!
Wear safety goggles!
