Getting Started . . .
> Use extra care when handling fuels. Fuel is ammable and the vapours are explosive.
The following points should be observed.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the power source running. Allow
engine and exhaust components to cool down before refuelling.
• Do not smoke.
• Never refuel indoors.
• Never store the hedge trimmer or fuel container inside where there is an open
ame, such as near a water heater.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the power source, but move the hedge
trimmer away from the spillage before starting.
• Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refuelling.
• If the fuel tank is drained, this should be done outdoors.
> If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or the hedge trimmer starts
making any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the
hedge trimmer to stop. Disconnect the spark plug connector from the spark plug
and take the following steps.
• Inspect for damage.
• Check for, and tighten, any loose parts.
• Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent
specications.
> In an emergency: stop the engine by immediately releasing the throttle control and
push the stop switch to O position.
Operation
> Stop the engine before:
• cleaning or when clearing a blockage;
• checking, carrying out maintenance or working on the hedge trimmer;
• adjusting the working position of the cutting device;
• leaving the hedge trimmer unattended.
> Ensure that the hedge trimmer is correctly located in a designated working position
before starting the engine.
> While operating the hedge trimmer, always ensure that the operating position is safe
and secure, especially when using steps or a ladder.
> Do not operate the hedge trimmer with a damaged or excessively worn cutting device.
> To reduce re hazards, keep the engine and silencer free of debris, leaves and
excessive lubricant.
> Always ensure that all handles and guards are tted when using the hedge trimmer.
Never attempt to use an incomplete hedge trimmer or one tted with an unauthorized
modication.
> Always use two hands to operate a hedge trimmer.
