- Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin
should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear
protective gloves when refuelling. Frequently clean and change
protective clothes. Do not breathe in fuel vapors. Inhalation of
fuel vapours can be hazardous to your health.
- Do not spill fuel or oil. When you have spilt fuel or oil immediately
clean the hedge trimmer. Fuel should not come in contact with
clothes. If your clothes have come in contact with fuel, change
them et once.
- Ensure that no fuel or oil oozes into the soil (environmental
protection). Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will ac-
cumulate near the floor (explosion hazard).
- Ensure to firmly tighten the screw plugs of the fuel tank.
- Change the place before starting the hedge trimmer (at least 3
m from the place of refuelling) (6).
- Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only
as much as will be consumed in the near future.
- Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and
storage of fuel. Ensure children have no access to fuel.
Starting operation
- Do not work on your own. Another person must be nearby
in case of emergencies (within shouting distance).
- Make sure that there are no children or other persons within the
hedge trimmer work zone (at least 15 m / 50 ft. away). Look out
for animals (7).
- Before starting work check to make sure that the trimmer
is in good and safe working order. This is a must!
Be certain that screws and bolts are tightly seated, the cutter is
sharp and undamaged, the throttle works easily, the safety cutoff
functions properly, the grips are clean and dry and the Start/Stop
switch works properly.
- The hedge trimmer must not be used unless fully assembled!
- Make sure you have a secure footing before starting
operation.
- Start the trimmer only as described in the Instruction Manual (8
or 9). Do not use any other starting methods.
- During starting, place the tool on a stable surface and hold it
steady. The cutter most not be obstructed.
- Always hold the trimmer with both hands when working.
One hand on the rear grip, the other on the front grip. Hold each
grip with your thumb around it.
- CAUTION: The blade will still run for a short time after you
release the throttle (free-running effect).
- Before starting the hedge trimmer ensure that you have a safe
footing.
- Use the trimmer in such a way that exhaust cannot be inhaled.
Do not work in enclosed spaces (poisoning hazard).
- Immediately turn off the engine if there is any noticeable
change in the way the tool runs.
- Always turn off the engine before checking the condition
of the tool, taking care of problems or refuelling (10).
- Always turn off the engine before removing any jammed cuttings
from the cutter.
- If the cutter touches rocks, nails or other hard objects, immedi-
ately switch off the engine and check the blade.
- When stopping work or leaving the working place switch off the
hedge trimmer (10) and put it down such that nobody is endan-
gered.
- Do not put the overheated power hedge trimmer in dry grass
or on any inflammable objects. The muffler is very hot (danger
of fire).
