• If anything jams in the blades while you are working,
switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped
completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the
spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Safety instructions after completing work
• The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
• Shut off the machine. Never leave the machine
unsupervised with the motor running.
• When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing,
inspection or storage, shut off the power source,
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
and make sure all moving parts have come to stop.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can
easily cause cuts.
• Store the machine out of reach of children.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Basic working techniques
• Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides.
• Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
• When trimming a hedge the engine should always
face away from the hedge.
• Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance.
• Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
• Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.
