Stopping Engine
1. Throttle
Release throttle trigger and allow engine to return to idle
before shutting off engine.

If engine does not stop when stop switch is moved to STOP position, close choke - COLD START

Hedge Trimming
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause
unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position
unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.
Hedge Trimmer blades are very sharp. Touching them may
lead to severe personal injury. Avoid touching blades
whenever possible, and always wear gloves to protect
hands.
1. Always grip throttle handle with right hand and support
handle with left hand.
2. Hold trimmer firmly and squeeze throttle trigger to
accelerate engine.
3. Tilt trimmer so cutting teeth are angled slightly toward the
hedge or shrub and proceed to cut.
