Getting Started . . .
> Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert for possible hazards of which
you might not be aware due to the noise of the hedge trimmer.
>
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Maintenance and storage
>
When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing, inspection or storage, shut off the
power source, make sure all moving parts have come to a stop and disconnect the
spark plug connector from the spark plug. Allow the hedge trimmer to cool before
making any inspections, adjustments, etc.
>
Store the hedge trimmer where the fuel vapour will not reach an open ame or spark.
Always allow the hedge trimmer to cool down before storing.
>
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always t the cutting device transport
> guard.
>
Empty the fuel tank after every use. Run the product dry of fuel in idle before storage.
>
Dispose of waste oil and fuel at a local petrol station, local authority centre or where
facilities exist.
Fuel handling
>
Always switch the equipment off, disconnect the spark plug connector and let the
equipment cool down before refuelling it.
> Fuel and fuel vapour are highly ammable. Take care when handling fuel.
> Do not smoke while operating the equipment, handling fuel or near fuel.
>
Always use suitable aids such as funnels and ller necks. Do not spill any fuel on
the equipment or its exhaust system. There is a risk of ignition. Remove spilled fuel
carefully from all parts of the equipment. Any residue which may be present must
have completely volatilised, before the equipment is put into operation!
> Never refuel indoors.
>
Never use the equipment in environments where there is a risk of explosion. Exhaust
gases and fuel fumes are noxious. Fuel fumes can ignite.
> Avoid skin contact with petrol.
> Do not eat or drink, while you are refuelling the equipment. If you have swallowed
petrol or oil, or if petrol or oil has got into your eyes, then seek the advice of a doctor
immediately.
> Tighten the fuel tank cap thoroughly after relling the fuel tank.
> Fuel vapour pressure may build up inside the fuel tank depending on the fuel used,
weather conditions and the tank venting system. To reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injuries, remove the fuel tank cap carefully to allow any pressure
build up to release slowly.
>
Ensure the spark plug connector is secure after relling the fuel tank. Loose connector
may cause electrical arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a re
or explosion.
