equipment approved by the appropriate
authorities must be used. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an
injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer
for help when choosing protective equipment.
WARNING!

1. Throttle trigger lock
The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. The trigger

the lock (B) is held in (= the
operator holding the
handle). When the grip on
the handle is released the
throttle and the throttle
trigger lock return to their
original positions. This
takes place via two independent return spring systems.
This means that the throttle

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Vibration damping system
The hedge trimmer is
equipped with a vibration
damping system, which is
designed to give as vibration-free and comfortable
use as possible.
The hedge trimmer’s
vibration damping system
reduces the transfer of
vibrations between the
engine unit/blades and the
hedge trimmer’s handles.
The engine body including
the blades is suspended on
the handlebar system via a
four springs.
WARNING!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
!
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of
such symptoms are ”numbness”, lack of
feeling, ”tickling”, ”pricking”, ”pain”, lack of
or a reduction in normal strength, changes
in the colour of the skin or its surfaces.
These symptoms normally appear in the
fingers, hands or wrists.
5. Muffler
The muffler is designed to give
the lowest possible noise level
and to direct the engine‘s
exhaust fumes away from the
operator. Muffler fitted with
catalytic converter is also
designed to reduce harmful
exhaust components.
In countries that have a warm
and dry climate the risk of fire
is obvious. We have therefore
fitted certain mufflers with a
spark arrest screen. Make sure
that your muffler is fitted with
this kind of screen. It is
extremely important that the instructions for checking,
maintaining and servicing the muffler are followed. (See the
section “Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety
equipment“.)
WARNING!
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters

become extremely hot during use and
after stopping. This also applies at idling
speeds. Contact can result in burns to
the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!
WARNING!
Bear in mind that exhaust fumes:
• contain carbon monoxide, which can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Therefore never start or run the machine
indoors.
• are hot and can contain sparks that can
cause fires. Never start the machine
indoors or close to inflammable material.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Control, maintenance and service of
the hedge trimmer’s protective
equipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

special training.
• This applies especially to the machine‘s safety
equipment. If the machine does not meet any of
he controls listed below you should contact
your service workshop.
• The purchase of one of our products
guarantees that professional repair and
servicing will be carried out on it. If the point of
purchase is not one of our servicing dealers,
please ask for details of the closest service
workshop.
1. Throttle trigger lock
WARNING!
!
!
Never use a machine with defective safety
equipment. The safety equipment should
be maintained as described in this
section. If your machine does not meet
any of these controls you should contact
your service workshop.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine before starting
work on any part of the cutting
equipment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting equipment has
stopped completely and remove the cable
from the spark plug before you start to
work on it.
2. Stop switch
• Check that the throttle is
locked in the “idling
position“ when the
throttle trigger lock is in
its original position.
• Press in the throttle
trigger lock and make
sure it returns to its
original position when
released.
• Ensure that the throttle
and throttle trigger lock
move easily and that their
return spring systems
function.
• See the section ”Start”.
Start the hedge trimmer
and apply full throttle.
Release the throttle and
check that the blades
stop and remain at a
standstill. If the blades
rotate with the throttle in
the idling position then
the carburettor’s idling
setting must be checked.
See chapter ”Mainte-
nance”.
• Start the engine and
make sure that the engine
stops when the stop
switch is moved to the
stop position.
3. Hand guard
• Ensure that the blade
guard is fitted correctly.
• Make sure the hand
guard is not damaged in
anyway.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5. Muffler
• Never use a machine that
has a defective muffler.
• Check regularly that the
muffler is secure.
• If your muffler is fitted
with a spark arrest screen
then it should be cleaned
regularly. A blocked
screen leads to the
engine overheating with
serious damage as a
result. Never use a
muffler with a defective
spark arrest screen.
7. Blade guard
• Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
• Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.
6. Blades
To ensure good cutting
results it is important that
the contact pressure between
the blades is correct.
The contact pressure
between the blades is
adjusted by tightening the
screws on the underside of
the bar as far as they will go,
then backing them off 1/4
turn. Lock the screws using
the locking nuts on the top
face of the bar. The washers
should still slide freely under
the screw heads after the
screws have been tightened.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play
between the blades should be
0.2–0.4 mm, measured at
the screws.
8. Gearbox
• The gearbox gets hot when
the hedge trimmer is in use.
To avoid burning yourself
do not touch the gearbox.
The edges of the blade are
too hard to be filed. Dull
blades should be sharpened
using a grinder.
