If you use a shoulder strap or full
harness: Practice removing and putting
down the machine as you would in an
emergency. To avoid damage, do not
throw the machine to the ground when
practicing.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Make sure you have firm and secure
footing and hold the power tool so that
the cutting blades are always away from
your body.
Some versions of the machine can be
carried on a harness to relieve the
weight on the operator's arms.
Models with loop handle
Right hand on control handle, left hand
on loop handle on drive tube, even if you
are left-handed. Wrap fingers and
thumbs firmly around the handles.
Machines with handle hose
Right hand on control handle, left hand
on handle hose on drive tube, even if
you are left-handed. Wrap fingers and
thumbs firmly around the handles.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch/button to 0 or STOP.
To reduce the risk of injury from falling
objects, do not allow bystanders within a
radius of 15 meters of your own position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Maintain a minimum clearance of
15 meters between the tip of the cutter
bar and electric power lines. Electricity
can jump considerable distances by
means of arcing. Higher voltage
increases the distance electricity can
arc. Have the power switched off before
starting cutting work in the immediate
vicinity of power lines.
Make sure the idle speed setting is
correct. The cutting blades must not run
when the engine is idling with the throttle
trigger released. Check and correct the
idle speed setting regularly. If the cutting
blades still run when the engine is idling,
have your dealer check your machine
and make proper adjustments or repairs.
Check and correct the idle speed setting
regularly.
Watch the cutting blades at all times – do
not cut areas of the hedge that you
cannot see.
Be extremely careful when cutting tall
hedges, check the other side of the
hedge before starting work.
Take special care in slippery conditions
(ice, wet ground, snow) – on slopes or
uneven ground.
This power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, keep
well clear of electric
power lines.
