SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Personal protective equipment

IMPORTANT! Whenever you use the hedge trimmer you must use personal protective equipment that is approved by the authorities. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of injury, but it can reduce the degree of injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing equipment.
WARNING! Listen out for warning signals or shouts when you are wearing hearing
!
protection. Always remove your hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.
GLOVES
Gloves must be worn when required, for example when fitting, inspecting or cleaning cutting attachments
HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection that provides adequate noise reduction.
FIRST AID KIT
Always have a first aid kit nearby.
Machine
This section describes the machine purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.

EYE PROTECTION
Always wear approved eye protection. If you use a visor then you must also wear approved protective goggles. Approved protective goggles must comply with standard ANSI Z87.1 in the USA or EN 166 in EU countries. Visors must comply with standard EN 1731.
BOOTS
Wear sturdy, non-slip boots.
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle from accidentally being engaged. The trigger (A) can only be pressed in, if 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 is automatically locked in the idling position

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and avoid loose clothing that can catch on twigs and branches. Always wear heavy, long pants. Do not wear jewellery, shorts sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hand guard

The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact with the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the front handle.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimise vibration and make operation easier.
The machine of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine blades is suspended on the handlebar system via a four springs.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety equipment.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and
!
remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!
WARNING! The inside of muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
!
contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
WARNING! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon
!
monoxide poisoning. For this reason you should not start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Cutter guard

The blade guard (A) is intended to protect against any part of the body coming into contact with the blades (B).
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage. Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrestor mesh.

Cutter guard

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.

Gear housing

The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear housing.

Blades

To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn. Lock the screws using the locking nut on the top of the bar. Check that the screws are loose enough to allow the washers under the screw heads to slide sideways.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between the blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm, measured at the screws.
The edges of the blades are too hard to be filed. Dull blades should be sharpened using a grinder. Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.

Starting

Fuel safety

Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
4 Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant and
may even cause skin changes.
The complete clutch cover and gear housing must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch may come loose and cause personal injury.
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled.
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with the cutting equipment.
Place the machine on the ground, ensure the cutting attachment is clear of twigs and stones. Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot). Then grip the starter handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.

Transport and storage

Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or boilers.
When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
!
inhaling fumes.
