Refuelling
Before refuelling, stop the engine. -
Never refuel near naked flames. -
Do not smoke when refuelling. -
Always allow sufficient time for the engine to cool down before refuelling. -
Take care not to let your skin come into contact with petroleum products. Do not -
inhale gasoline fumes and always wear protective gloves when refuelling.
Change and clean protective wear at regular intervals.
Take extra care to avoid spilling gasoline and oil in order to avoid contamination -
of the ground (environmental protection). If gasoline or oil has been spilled onto
the pole hedge trimmer, immediately wipe the surface of the pole hedge trimmer
with a rag.
To avoid spontaneous combustion, allow wet rags to dry sufficiently before
discarding them into an appropriate, covered container.
Make sure that no fuel comes in contact with your clothing. Change fuel- -
contaminated clothing immediately (fire hazard).
Close the fuel tank and tighten the fuel tank cap securely. To restart the engine, -
transfer the pole hedge trimmer to a location at least 3 meters away from the
place of refuelling.
Check the fuel tank cap at regular intervals to make sure that the cap is securely -
fastened.
Never refuel the machine in an enclosed room. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground -
level (risk of explosion).
Store fuel in appropriate containers only, and make sure that stored fuel is out of -
the reach of children.
Operation
In the event of an emergency, turn off the engine immediately. -
If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise, vibration) during operation, switch off -
the engine. Do not use the pole hedge trimmer until the cause is recognized and
solved.
The blades continue to move for a short period after releasing the throttle trigger -
or switch off the engine. Don’t rush to contact the blades.
Never attempt to operate the equipment with one hand. Loss of control may result -
in serious or fatal injury. To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep your hands and
feet away from the blades.
Keep your right hand under the shoulder height during operation. Otherwise you -
may lose control and result in injury.
During operation, never hit the blades against hard obstacles such stones and -
metals. Take particular care when cutting hedges next to or against wire fences.
When working close to the ground, make sure that no sand, grit or stones get
between the blades.
If the blades come into contact with stones or other solid objects, stop the engine -
immediately and check the blades for damage after removing the spark plug cap.
Replace the blades if damaged.
Never touch or approach the blades while they are moving. Blades can cut your -
finger easily. When handling or approaching the blade, stop the engine and
remove the spark plug cap.
If thick branches get jammed in the blades, immediately stop the engine, put the -
pole hedge trimmer down and then remove the obstruction after removing the
spark plug cap. Check the blades for damage before using the equipment again.
Accelerating the engine with the blades blocked increases the load and may -
damage the engine and/or clutch.
Check the cutting blades frequently during operation for cracks or blunt edges. -
Before the inspection, switch off the engine and wait until the blades stop
completely. Replace damaged or dull blades immediately, even if they have only
superficial cracks.
Do not touch the gear case. The gear case becomes hot during operation. -
Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a -
10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
Before cutting, pull the throttle lever fully to achieve the maximum speed. -
During operation, hold the pole hedge trimmer with both hands at all times. -
Only use the pole hedge trimmer in good light and visibility conditions. Beware -
of slippery and wet areas (ice and snow) during the cold season (danger of
slipping), and always ensure secure footing.
Never use the pole hedge trimmer while standing on an unstable surface or a -
steep slope.
Never use the pole hedge trimmer while standing on a ladder. -
Never climb a tree to use the pole hedge trimmer from the tree. -
To avoid stumbling or falling over objects, never walk backwards when working -
with the pole hedge trimmer.
Always stop the engine before cleaning or servicing the machine. Also, refrain -
from replacing parts before the engine has been stopped.
Do not operate the pole hedge trimmer if the cutting unit is damaged or worn. -
