To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Stop the engine and make sure that the engine switch is in the OFF position in
the following cases:
– Before any operation around the cutter blade.
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the hedge trimmer.
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the hedge trimmer for damage and
make repairs before restarting and operating the hedge trimmer again.
– If hedge trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately the cause
of the vibration and perform the necessary repair.
• Turn the engine switch to the OFF position and stop the engine in the following
cases:
– Whenever you leave the hedge trimmer unattended.
– Before refueling.
– When any person or pet is approaching.
– Shut off the engine immediately when the hedge trimmer shows abnormal
vibration suddenly. Sudden vibration can suggest the damaged sliding parts
or loose fasteners. Examine the cause of the problem, and do not start the
engine before repair is made.
– Shut off the engine immediately when, after returning the throttle lever, the
cutter blade still operates. Examine the cause of the problem, and do not
start the engine before repair is made.
– When a wire catches on the cutter blade. Remove the wire after stopping the
engine. If you remove it without stopping the engine, the cutter blade starts
to operate and you may get injured.
– Before placing the hedge trimmer on the ground, make sure the cutter blade
stops turning as well.
Note that the cutter blade is operating by inertia right after returning the
throttle lever and while the engine is idling.
