Precautions to Reduce Vibration Risk

• The hedge trimmer is provided with anti-vibration (AV) system; never alter or modify it.
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Keep the blade sharp and the hedge trimmer, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull blade will increase
cutting time, will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressures, take
frequent breaks. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain whitefinger
disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition
of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
Maintenance Precaution
WARNING: Never operate a hedge trimmer that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not
completely and securely assembled.
• Be sure that the blade stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the blade moves at idle
speed, the carburetor may need adjusting, see Operation-Carburetor Adjusting Section. If the blade moves at
idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until
the repair is made.
WARNING: All hedge trimmer service, other than items in the Operator's Manual maintenance
instructions, have to be performed by competent hedge trimmer service personnel. (If improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used to hold the
flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which
could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could result.)
• Never modify your hedge trimmer in any way.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
WARNING: Use only accessories and replacement parts recommended.
• Never touch the blade or attempt to service the hedge trimmer while the engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Keep the hedge trimmer in a dry place, off the ground with the blade cover on and the tanks empty.
• If your hedge trimmer is no longer usable, dispose of it properly without damaging the environment by
handing it in to your local Dealer who will arrange for its correct disposal.
• Replace immediately any safety device when damaged or broken.
WARNING: The muffler and other parts of the engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping the engine. To reduce
risk of burns do not touch the muffler and other parts while they are hot.
