•
Check the working area for foreign objects such as
electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other
objects that could damage the cutting attachment,
such as metal items.
•
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from
the spark plug. Check that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
•
If anything jams in the blades while you are working,
switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped
completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the
spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Safety instructions after completing work
•
The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
•
Shut off the machine. Never leave the machine
unsupervised with the motor running.
•
When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing,
inspection or storage, shut off the power source,
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and make sure all moving parts have come to stop.
Allow the machine to cool before performing any
actions in the engine compartment.
•
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can
easily cause cuts.
•
Store the machine out of reach of children.
•
Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Basic working techniques
•
Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides.
•
Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
•
When trimming a hedge the engine should always
face away from the hedge.
•
Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance.
•
Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
•
Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.
Rear handle
To reduce the effort when cutting hedges you can rotate
the handle 90
°
to the left or right.
•
Free the handle by pressing the locking lever.
•
Turn the handle until the locking lever click into place.
•
When the handle is locked in it’s new position, you can
aplly throttle again.
•
While working the handle should always be facing
upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is
directed.
You can swivel the handle even with the engine idling
because the hedge trimmer is equipped with a blade
break that maintains the blade set a standstill.
