SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
cont’d
although the hedge-trimmer is designed
to keep vibration to a minimum, it is
recommended that short rest breaks are
taken to minimise the harmful effect
vibration may cause.
HEDGE-TRIMMER
Damaged or loose parts including
blades can cause injury to the
operator or bystanders. Always
inspect the hedge-trimmer before
using. Only use genuine approved
spare parts for repair. Unauthorised
use of non-genuine spare parts may
invalidate warranty and could cause
injury.
Check the position and safety of all
guards, handles, controls are free
from defect..
Store hedge-trimmer in a safe, dry,
cool area and away from direct
sunlight. For prolonged periods of
storage, drain fuel tank and run
carburettor dry before storing your
hedge-trimmer.
Careful maintenance is essential for
safety and optimum performance.
Regularly check the hedge-trimmer
adjustments and replace worn or
damaged parts. If engine idle speed
is set too high, cutting blades will not
stop when the operator releases the
throttle. To prevent injury, ensure
idle speed is set correctly and blades
do not turn when engine is idling.
Replace or sharpen worn, dull or
misadjusted cutting blades.
FUEL MIXTURE: 25 : 1
Use fresh, unleaded petrol and mix
synthetic two-stroke oil specially made for
high performance two-stroke engines at a
ratio of 25 parts petrol to 1 part of oil.
Using synthetic oil will reduce the
formation of ash and carbon deposits on
the spark plug, piston, combustion
chamber, muffler, as well as extending
engine life and reducing harmful exhaust
gasses.
It is important to use only good quality
fresh two-stroke mixture, which should
be disregarded after four weeks.
WARNING
Two-stroke mixture gasoline is highly
flammable and can explode under
certain circumstances. Never overfill
petrol tank so that fuel rises into the
filler neck. Heat may cause fuel to
expand and overflow through vents in
the tank cap. After refuelling make
sure petrol cap is securely closed. If
two-stroke mixture is spilt on engine or
tank, wipe clean immediately.
