IN ORDER TO ENSURE PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION OF YOUR HEDGE-TRIMMER
• This product has been designed for use in
trimming leaves and branches from trees
and hedges, and it should never be used
for any other purpose since doing so could
result in unforeseen accidents and injuries
occurring.
• This product is equipped with extremely
sharp blades, and when used improperly
these blades can be extremely dangerous.
For this reason, you should never use this
hedge-trimmer when under the influence of
alcohol, when suffering from exhaustion or
lack of sleep, when suffering from
drowsiness as a result of having taken cold
medicine, or at any other time when a
possibility exists that your judgment might
be impaired or that you might not be able to
operate the hedge-trimmer properly and in
a safe manner. Also be sure never to allow
children or anyone unable to fully
understand the directions given in this
manual to use this hedge-trimmer.
Safety Precautions
• Avoid running the engine indoors. The
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
• Never use your hedge-trimmer under
circumstances like those described below:
1. When the ground is slippery or when
other conditions exist which might make
it not possible to maintain a steady
posture while using the hedge-trimmer.
2. At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any
other times when your field of vision
might be limited and it would be difficult
to gain a clear view of the area where
the hedge-trimmer is to be used to
ensure safety.
3. During rain storms, during lightning
storms, at times of strong or gale-force
winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it unsafe
to use this product.
• When using this product for the first time,
before beginning actual work, take the
hedge-trimmer to a wide, clear, open
space, turn on the power, and practice
handling the hedge-trimmer until you are
sure that you will be able to handle in it
properly in actual operation.
• Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical
exhaustion results in lower attention spans,
and this in turn leads to accidents and
injury. When planning your work schedule,
allow plenty of time to perform the work of
trimming and allow plenty of time for rest.
Limit the amount of time over which the
hedge-trimmer is to be used continuously
to somewhere around 30~40 minutes per
session, and take 10~20 minutes of rest
between work sessions. Also try to keep
the total amount of work performed in a
single day under 2 hours or less.
