start, put the choke lever to the halfway position
and try again.
Once started, release the throttle trigger, ‘open’ the
choke and allow the engine to warm up.
To stop the engine release the throttle and allow the
engine to idle for a minute.
Release the ‘safety lock-off’ and move the ignition
switch to the stop position.
Hold the trimmer with both hands,
adopting a stable
stance that lets you see what you are doing but keeps you
safely clear of the cutters.
Sweep the blades over the hedge,
working from the
ground upwards. If you encounter a really thick stem, stop
the hedge trimmer and use a pruning saw to cut through
the obstruction.
Never over-reach.
Keep the work area tidy.
Regularly sweep
up trimmings.
Watch your footing.
Be careful not to trip or slip while
operating the equipment.
Between cuts and when moving location, turn the
hedge trimmer off.
Do not allow the blades to come into contact with
the ground or metal posts and the like.
Switch OFF
and allow the blades to stop moving before removing any
debris from them.
Never use a broken blade.
Return the machine to
your local HSS Hire Shop.
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable ease,
assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Contact your
HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Handle the equipment with care.
Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find it performs
better if you clean it regularly rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
EQUIPMENT CARE
BASIC TECHNIQUES
Clean up the equipment by wiping over the drive
shaft and engine cover with a damp cloth and lightly
oil the blades – take care, they are sharp.
Finally, replace the protective sheath onto the blade
and return to your local HSS Hire Shop.
