Storing The Trimmer After Use; Repair Service; Waste Disposal And Environmental Protection - Echo HSD 600 Profi Operating Instructions Manual

Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will
stop in max. 0.2 sec. when one of the two switches is
released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 9)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact.
As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp
cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly
under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries
during transport.
Impact protector (Fig. 11)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
Gear protection feature
If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object and
continue with the work.
The equipment is also fitted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.

The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the

g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case with
the cutting blades first.
