Working conditions
Operate and start your power tool only outdoors in a well
ventilated area. Operate it under good visibility and day-
light conditions only. Work carefully.
Warning!
If the vegetation being cut or the surrounding ground is
coated with a chemical substance (such as an active pes-
ticide or herbicide), read and follow the instructions and
warnings that accompanied the substance at issue.
As soon as the engine is running, this prod-
uct generates toxic exhaust fumes containing
chemicals, such as unburned hydrocarbons
(including benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory problems, can-
cer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some of the gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be col-
ourless and odourless. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic fumes, never run
the machine indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. If
exhaust fumes become concentrated due to insufficient
ventilation, clear obstructions from work area to permit
proper ventilation before proceeding and/or take frequent
breaks to allow fumes to dissipate before they become
concentrated. Inhalation of certain dust, especially or-
ganic duxts can cause susceptible persons to have an al-
lergic reaction. Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in particular those with
a smaller particle size, may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source where possible.
Use good work practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process directs any dust raised
by the power tool away from the operator. When the inha-
lation of dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept
at or near the ambient (background) level, the operator
and any bystanders should wear a respirator for the type
of dust encountered. Breathing asbestos dust is danger-
ous and can cause severe or fatal injury, respiratory ill-
ness or cancer. The use and disposal of asbestos-con-
taining products have been strictly regulated by OSHA
and the Environmental Protection Agency. If you have
any reason to believe that you might be cutting asbes-
tos, immediately contact your employer or a local OSHA
representative.

Operating instructions

Warning!
The cutter blades continue to move fo ra short period af-
ter the throttle trigger is released (flywheel effect).
Accelerating the engine while the blades are blocked
increases the load and will cause the clutch to slipcon-
tinuously. This may resultin overheating and damage to
important components (e.g. clutch, polymerhousing com-
ponents)- which can then increase the riskof injury from
the blades moving while the engine is idling.
On units with an adjustable cutter bar: Carefully adjust
the cutter bar to the desired cutting position. To reduce
the risk of injury, never touch the blades while making
adjustments.
Only adjust the cutter bar when the blade are no
longer moving and the engine is turned off.
Warning!
The powertool has a large range. In order to reduce the
risk of personal or even fata linjury to bystanders from
falling objects or inadvertent contact with the moving cut-
ter blades of your powertool always keep by standers at
least 50 feet (15 m) away when the powertool is running.
Stop the engine and cutting too limmediately if you are
approached.
Before you start work, examine the work area for stones,
fence wire, metal or other solid objects which could dam-
age the cutter blades. Take particular care when cutting
next to wire fences. Do not touch the wire with the cutting
blades. When working close to the ground, make sure that
no sand, grit or stones get between the cutter bladers.
Striking solid foreign objects such as stones, fence wire
or metal could damage the cutting attachment and may
cause blades to crack, chiporbreak. We do not recom-
mend the use of your powertool when cutting in areas
where the blades could contact such objects. Observe
the cutting blades at all times–do not cut any areas that
you cannot see. When cutting the top of a taller hedge,
check the other side of the hedge frequently for by stand-
ers, animals and obstructions.
Danger!
Your power tool is not insulated against elec-
tric shock. To reduce the risk of electrocution,
never operate this power tool in the vicinity of
any wires or cables (power,etc.) which may be
carrying electric current.
If the cutting tool becomes clogged or stuck, always turn
off the engine and make sure the cutting tool has stopped
before cleaning. Grass, weeds, etc. should be cleaned off
the cutting tool at regular intervals.
Check the cutting blades at regular short intervals during
operation, or immediately if there is a noticeable change
in cutting behavior:
− Shut off the engine.
− Wait until the cutting blades have come to a complete
standstill.
− Check condition and tightness, look for cracks.
− Check sharpness.
− Replace damaged or dull cutting tools immediately,
even if they have only superficial cracks.
Warning!
The gearbox become shot during operation. To reduce
the risk of burn injury, do not touch the gear housing when
it is hot.
