Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.

Engine tool use and care
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
tool or these instructions to operate the tool. The tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
Use the tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from
intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
5.4
Service
Have your tool serviced by a qualified person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.

PETROL SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a risk of
explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach
dangerous concentrations.
Protect your tool. This hedge trimmer is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not be
exposed to direct sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or high humidity
conditions.
Do not smoke while refueling. This is potentially dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and
cause an explosion.
Take care not to spill fuel. When refueling the hedge trimmer ensure that the motor has
been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor.
Never refuel whilst the engine running.
Be careful where you store the hedge trimmer. Store the hedge trimmer in a dry area
away from flammable liquids.
Keep your distance. The hedge trimmer emits exhaust fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a
safe distance.
Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke
oil. If not, the engine will overheat and cause damage to your hedge trimmer.
