persons, always check the
presence and locations of others

warped, cracked, broken or
damaged in any way.
e. Keep the blade always sharp.

end corner sharp and round the
root of the edge.

smoothly without abnormal noise.

NOTES ON STARTING THE
ENGINE
1. Take a careful look around to
make sure that no obstacles exist
within a perimeter of 15m or less
around hedge-trimmer.
2. Place the body of the hedge-
trimmer onto the ground in a flat
clear area and hold it firmly in
place so as to ensure that neither
the blades nor the throttle come
into contact with any obstacles
when the engine starts up.
3. Place the throttle into the idling
position when starting the engine.
4. After starting up the engine, if the
blades continue to rotate even
after the throttle has been moved
fully back, turn off the engine and
check the throttle wire and other
parts.
