5. Muffler
• Never use a machine that
has a defective muffler.
• Check regularly that the
muffler is secure.
• If your muffler is fitted
with a spark arrest screen
then it should be cleaned
regularly. A blocked
screen leads to the
engine overheating with
serious damage as a
result. Never use a
muffler with a defective
spark arrest screen.
6. Blades
To ensure good cutting
results it is important that
the contact pressure between
the blades is correct.
The contact pressure
between the blades is
adjusted by tightening the
screws on the underside of
the bar as far as they will go,
then backing them off 1/4
turn. Lock the screws using
the locking nuts on the top
face of the bar. The washers
should still slide freely under
the screw heads after the
screws have been tightened.
When the blades are cor-
rectly adjusted the play
between the blades should be
0.2–0.4 mm, measured at
the screws.
The edges of the blade are
too hard to be filed. Dull
blades should be sharpened
using a grinder.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7. Blade guard
• Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
• Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.
8. Gearbox
• The gearbox gets hot when
the hedge trimmer is in use.
To avoid burning yourself
do not touch the gearbox.
