5. Make sure the cutting blades are moving (at least half throttle ) before actual cutting begins. The Hedge
Trimmer performs best at full throttle.
6. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to speed when not cutting.
7. Stop the engine when moving between work sites.
・
If the cutting blades becomes jammed, stop the engine immediately.
・
Make certain all moving parts have stopped and disconnect the spark plug before inspecting the equip-
ment for damage.
・
Never use a unit that has chipped, cracked or broken blades.
IMPORTANT: The thickness of branches which may be cut using this trimmer is limited to up to
approximately 4,5mm. Never try to cut branches thicker than this, as doing so may
result in damage to the trimmer.
8. When transporting the Hedge Trimmer always fit the blade sheath.
