4.3 Start and Stop
The hedge trimmer is operated by the powerhead.
Refer to the powerhead manual.
4.3.1 Start
The hedge trimmer must only be started and operated by one person.
* Operation by more than one person increases the likelihood of mishandling and
resulting injury.
For starting the hedge trimmer, refer to the powerhead manual.
4.3.2 Stop
When the throttle trigger is released, the engine power will decrease, and the trimmer blade will come to a
stop. However, it will not stop immediately after the throttle trigger is released, but instead will continue to
turn for a short while (flywheel effect).
Maintain proper control until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Refer to the powerhead manual for details.
