Important:
Make sure that the engine is turned off, and remove the spark plug cap before
assembling the pole hedge trimmer.
Wear protective gloves!
Secure blades with the blade cover provided when connecting the trimmer unit to
the pole.
- Loosen the M5x10 screw and M5x25 bolt.

NOTE: Make sure that the shaft is completely inserted into the gear case
(approx. 40mm/1.57").
If you are having trouble inserting the shaft, manually rotate the drive axle
a little and try again.
- Confirm that the shaft is properly inserted and then tighten the M5x10 screw and
the M5x25 bolt.
ATTACHING THE HANDLE
- Attach the protective barrier together with the handle so that the barrier juts out
to the left as viewed from the operating position.
- Make sure not to set the handle too close to the control grip (use the distance
collar provided for this purpose).
USING THE SHOULDER STRAP
How to wear the shoulder strap
- Wear the shoulder strap over the left shoulder.
- Keep the pole hedge trimmer unit on the right hand side of the body.
- Attach the strap to the fitting provided on the pole hedge trimmer and adjust the
length of the strap to attain a comfortable working position.
Detachment
- In an emergency, push the notches (1) at both sides, and you can detach the
machine from you.
Be extremely careful to maintain control of the machine at this time. Do not allow
the machine to be deflected toward you or anyone in the work vicinity.
WARNING: Failure to maintain complete control of the machine at all could result in
serious bodily injury or DEATH.
