SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions while working
Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position
Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the
machine at the side of your body.
Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.
Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the
cutting attachment when the engine is running.
When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet
away from the blades until they have stopped.
Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out
during cutting.
Always lay the machine on the ground when you are not
using it.
Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other
objects can be thrown out.
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 HT
lead 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.
Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting
attachment. The blades are very 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.
