5. For safe operation
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before beginning
work.
4. Inspect the entire unit for loose fas-
teners and fuel leakage. Make sure
that the cutting attachment is prop-
erly installed and securely fastened.
5. Always use the harness. Adjust the
harness for comfort before starting the
engine. The harness should be ad-
justed so the left hand can comfort-
ably hold the handlebar grip approxi-
mately waist high.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least
15 m away from the operating point.
If you are approached, immediately
stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a cen-
trifugal clutch mechanism, so the cut-
ting attachment begins to rotate as
soon as the engine is started by put-
ting the throttle trigger into the start
position. When starting the engine,
place the product onto the ground in
a flat clear area and hold it firmly in
place so as to ensure that neither the
cutting part nor the throttle come into
contact with any obstacle when the
engine starts.
WARNING
Never place the throttle trigger into the
high-speed position when starting the
engine.
3. After starting the engine, check to
make sure that the cutting attachment
stops rotating when the throttle is
moved fully back to its original posi-
tion. If it continues to rotate even after
the throttle trigger has been moved
fully back, turn off the engine and take
the unit to your authorized ZENOAH
servicing dealer for repair.
USING THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT
Cut only materials recommended by the
manufacturer. And use only for tasks ex-
plained in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands
using your whole hand. Place your feet
slightly apart (slightly further apart than
the width of your shoulders) so that your
weight is distributed evenly across both
legs, and always be sure to maintain a
steady, even posture while working.
2. Maintain the speed of the engine at
the level required to perform cutting
work, and never raise the speed of
the engine above the level necessary.
3. Never operate the pruner at an angle
greater than 60° in order to reduce the
risk of being struck by falling objects
during operation.
4. If the unit starts to shake or vibrate,
turn off the engine and check the
whole unit. Do not use it until the
trouble has been properly corrected.
5. Keep all parts of your body away from
rotating cutting attachment and hot
surfaces.
6. Never touch the muffler, spark plug,
or other metallic parts of the engine
while the engine is in operation or im-
mediately after shutting down the en-
gine. Doing so could result in serious
burns or electrical shock.
WARNING
Approaching or contacting electric power
lines with the pruner may cause serious
injury death from electrocution. Electric-
ity can jump from one point to another by
means arcing or may be conducted
through damp branches. Maintain a clear-
ance of at least 15m between the pruner
and any electrical line carrying live current.
