1.
Operate the ground trimmer under good visibility and daylight
conditions only. Do not operate the ground trimmer in darkness
or fog.
2.
Start and operate the engine only outdoors in a well ventilated
area. Operation in a confined or poorly ventilated area can result
in death due to suffocation or carbon monoxide poisoning.
3.
During operation, never stand on an unstable or slippery surface
or a steep slope. During the cold season, beware of ice and
snow and always ensure secure footing.
4.
During operation, keep bystanders or animals at least 15 m away
from the ground trimmer. Stop the motor as soon as someone
approaches.
5.
Before operation, examine the work area for wire fences, stones,
or other solid objects. They can damage the blades.
Hedge trimmer safety warning
1.
DANGER – Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade
will result in serious personal injury.
2.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clear-
ing jammed material. Blades coast after turn off. A moment
of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
3.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade
stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce pos-
sible personal injury from the cutter blades.
4.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety warnings
1.
Do not use the extended-reach hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of light-
ning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
2.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any elec-
trical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may
cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
3.
Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach
hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
Always use head protection when operating the extend-
4.
ed-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.
Putting into operation
1.
Before assembling or adjusting the equipment, switch off the
motor and remove the spark plug cap or the battery cartridge.
2.
Before assembling the blades or adjusting the cutting angle,
wear protective gloves.
3.
Before starting the motor, inspect the equipment for damages,
loose screws/nuts or improper assembly. Replace if the blades
are cracked, bent, or damaged. Check all control levers and
switches for easy action. Clean and dry the handles.
4.
Never attempt to start the motor if the equipment is damaged or
not fully assembled. Otherwise serious injury may result.
5.
Before starting the motor, carefully check that the blade is not
touching the ground, your body, and other objects. Starting the
motor with the blade contacting with foreign object can cause
serious accident.
6.
Adjust the shoulder harness and hand grip to suit the operator's
body size.
Operation
1.
Maintain the proper positioning for hands, feet, and the unit
during use. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach.
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting attachment and
hot surfaces.
2.
In the event of an emergency, switch off the motor immediately.
3.
If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise, vibration) during
operation, switch off the motor. Do not use the ground trimmer
until the cause is recognized and solved.
4.
The blades continue to move for a short period after releasing
the throttle trigger or switch off the motor. Don't rush to contact
the blades.
5.
With the engine running only at idle, attach the shoulder harness.
6.

7.
Hold the front handle with the left hand and the rear grip with the
right hand, no matter you are right-hander or left-hander. Wrap
your fingers and thumbs around the handles.
8.
Never attempt to operate the equipment with one hand. Loss of
control may result in serious or fatal injury. To reduce the risk of
cut injuries, keep your hands and feet away from the blades.
9.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and
ditches to avoid stumbling. Clear fallen branches and other
objects away.
10. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of control.
11. Do not hold the machine above shoulder height.
12. During operation, never hit the blades against hard obstacles
such stones and metals. Take particular care when cutting
hedges next to or against wire fences. When working close to the
ground, make sure that no sand, grit or stones get between the
blades.
13. If the blades come into contact with stones or other solid objects,
stop the motor immediately and check the blades for damage
after removing the spark plug or the battery cartridge. Replace
the blades if damaged.
14. If thick branches get jammed in the blades, immediately switch
off the motor, put the ground trimmer down and then remove the
obstruction after removing the spark plug or the battery cartridge.
Check the blades for damage before using the equipment again.
15. Never touch or approach the blades while they are moving.
Blades can cut your finger easily. When handling the blades or
adjusting the blade angle, stop the motor and remove the spark
plug cap or the battery cartridge.
16. Accelerating the motor with the blades blocked increases the
load and will damage the motor and/or clutch.
17. Check the cutting blades frequently during operation for cracks
or blunt edges. Before the inspection, switch off the motor and
wait until the blades stop completely. Replace damaged or dull
blades immediately, even if they have only superficial cracks.
18. If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition
before continuing work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage
and the controls and safety devices for malfunction. If there is
any damage or doubt, ask our authorized service center for the
inspection and repair.
19. Do not touch the gear case. The gear case becomes hot during
operation.
20. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We rec-
ommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
21. When you leave the equipment, even if it is a short time, always
switch off the engine or remove the battery cartridge. The equip-
ment unattended with the engine running may be used by unau-
thorized person and cause serious accident.
22. Before cutting, pull the throttle lever fully to achieve the maxi-
mum speed.
23. Follow the instruction manual of the power unit for proper use of
the control lever and switch.
24. During or after operation, do not put the hot equipment onto dry
grass or combustible materials.
Transport
1.
Before transporting the equipment, switch off the motor and
remove the spark plug cap or battery cartridge. Always fit the
blade cover during transportation.
2.
When carrying the equipment, carry it in a horizontal position by
holding the shaft. Keep the hot muffler away from your body.
3.
When transporting the equipment in a vehicle, properly secure
it to avoid turnover. Otherwise fuel spillage and damage to the
equipment and other baggage may result.
Maintenance
1.
Before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the
equipment, always switch off the motor and remove the spark
plug cap or the battery cartridge. Wait until the motor gets cold.
2.
To reduce the risk of fire, never service the equipment in the
vicinity of fire.
3.
Always wear protective gloves when handling the blades.
4.
Always clean dust and dirt off the equipment. Never use gas-
oline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like for the purpose.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks of the plastic components
may result.
5.
After each use, tighten all screws and nuts, except for the carbu-
retor adjustment screws.
6.
Keep the cutting tool sharp. If the cutting blades have become
blunt and cutting performance is poor, ask our authorized service
center to sharpen the blades.
