Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut down and,
if the engine is provided with a shut-off fuel valve, turn the
fuel off when engine is stopped.
BACK PULL
When the blades contact with a solid object in the critical
zone a dangerous reaction can be produced.
This reaction is denominated backward movement. As a
result, the user could lose control of the hedgecutter and
serious or mortal injuries can be produced.
These forces occur due to an improper use of the machine
and/or because of the incorrect interpretation of the
instruction manual and can be avoided by following these
simple instructions:
1. There shouldn´t be any fences, posts, cables or rocks
near the blades to avoid the backward movement, as
well as possible damages to the blades.
2. When using the hedgecutter hold it by the handle.
3. Do not lose visual contact with the hedgecutter.
If necessary, move the accelerator to slow motion posi-
tion.
4. When using the hedgecutter do not place it near your
feet or over your shoulder level.
