Safety instructions after completing work
•
The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
•
Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
•
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can
easily cause cuts.
•
Store the machine out of reach of children.
•
Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Basic working techniques

When trimming a hedge the engine should always
face away from the hedge.
•
Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance.
