The machine’s protective equipment
This section describes the hedge trimmer’s protective equip-
ment, its function and how checks and maintenance are
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter
”What is what” to locate where this equipment is positioned on
your machine.)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can
turn it into a dangerous tool that can cause
serious or even fatal injury. It is extremely
important that you read and understand this
manual.
•
When using a hedge trimmer, protective
equipment approved by the appropriate
authorities must be used. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an
injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer
for help when choosing protective equipment.
Personal protective eqipment
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn
when necessary, e.g., when
inspecting, cleaning or
assembling cutting equip-
ment.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection offering
sufficient dampening effect
should be used.
EYE PROTECTION
Blows from branches or
objects thrown by the
moving blades can damage
the eyes.
BOOTS
Use anti-slip and stable
boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a
strong fabric and avoid
loose clothing that can catch
on shrubs and branches.
Always wear heavy-duty
long pants. Do not wear
jewellery, shorts, sandals or
go barefoot. Secure hair so it
is above shoulder level.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Throttle trigger lock
The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. The trigger
(A) can only be pressed in, if
the lock (B) is held in (= the
operator holding the
handle). When the grip on
the handle is released the
throttle and the throttle
trigger lock return to their
original positions. This
takes place via two inde-
pendent return spring
systems. This means that
the throttle is automatically
locked in the idling posi-
tion.
2. Stop switch
The stop switch (C) should
be used to stop the engine.
3. Hand guard
(326HDA55/326HE3)
The hand guard (D)
prevents the operator’s
hands from coming into
contact with the blades. For
example, if the operator
should loose his grip on the
front handle.
WARNING!
Never use a hedge trimmer with defective
protective equipment. Follow the control,
maintenance and service instructions
described in this section.
