Method of operation

Perform the following checks before and during
operation:
• Always hold the hedge trimmer securely with one
hand on the front and one on the rear hand grip.
• Is the tool fully and correctly assembled?
Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tight.
See „Maintenance" for the bolts on the cutter
• Is the hedge trimmer in a good and safe condition?
• Are all of the safety functions operational?
• Is the fuel tank full?
• Is the cutter sharp and undamaged?
• Are the motor and silencer free of deposits, leaves or
lubricant?
• Is the hand grip clean and dry (no oil, grease or resin)?
• Is the working area free of obstacles which you might
trip over?
• Are you wearing the required protective equipment?
• Check the hedge you intend to trim, before starting
work, for electrical cables, fence wires or similar.
• Have you read and understood the instructions?
• Does the throttle trigger move freely and is the locking
knob in working order?
• Is the ON/OFF switch in working order?
• Does the cutter already remain stopped when the
hedge trimmer is idling?
• If the cutter moves at idling speeds, the speed must be
reduced (see „Setting the idling speed").
• Make sure that the gearbox is sufficiently well lubri-
cated (see under „Maintenance").

Rules of conduct for using the hedge trimmer

• Do not work alone. There should be someone within
earshot, in case of emergencies.
• Keep children, persons and animals out of your work-
ing area (maintain a clearance of at least 15 m).
• Due to the risk of slipping, do not work on snow, ice or
other slippery surfaces.
• Make sure that your working area is safe and tidy. Re-
move objects from the working area, which could be
picked up by the trimmer and flung outwards.
• Avoid assuming an abnormal stance. Maintain your
balance at all times. Do not work with the upper body
bent forwards.
• Do not work in poor lighting conditions (fog, rain,
snowdrifts or at dusk/dawn).
• Before cutting, scare any animal out of the hedge, so
that they are not endangered.
• Only operate the hedge trimmer when you have se-
cure footing.
• Switch off the hedge trimmer when moving to a new
area.
• It is vital to remove foreign objects from the hedge
(wires), as they could damage the hedge trimmer's
cutter.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutter, when it
is moving.
