pecially children, are in the vicinity.
■ If the cutting unit touches a foreign object, the
operating noises get louder or the hedge trimmer vibrates unusually excessively, stop the engine and allow the hedge trimmer to come to a
standstill. Disconnect the spark plug connector from the
spark plug and take the following measures:

nance, inspection or storage, turn off the engine,
disconnect the spark plug connector from the
spark plug and ensure that all rotating parts
have stopped. Allow the machine to cool down before
checking, adjusting, etc.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the
manufacturer or one of his customer service points.
Use only original spare parts. Accidents can arise for the user
through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.
6.3 Safe handling with fuels
Handle fuel with care! Fuels and fuel vapours are
inflammable and may cause serious injury on the
skin or when inhaled. Therefore be careful and provide
sufficient ventilation when handling with fuels.
■ Stop the engine and allow the device to cool
down before fuelling it.
■ Do not smoke and avoid open flames when fuel-
ling.
■ Wear gloves when fuelling.
6 GB/IE/NI
■ Do not fuel in closed rooms. (Risk of explosion).

immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil. Change your
clothes immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil on
them.
■ Make sure that no fuel can come into the soil.

and fuel lines. If there are leaks this device may not be
started.
■ Only transport and store fuels in containers ap-
proved and identified for this.
■ Keep children away from fuels.
■ Do not handle and store fuels close to combusti-
ble and highly inflammable materials as well as
sparks and open flames.
■ Go away at least three metres from the fuelling
place to start the device.
■ If the tank is emptied, this should be done out-
doors.
■ Never store the hedge trimmer or fuel tank in a
room where there is an open flame, such as in a
water heater.
■ To reduce the fire risk keep the motor and si-
lencer free from cutting remainders, leaves and
lubricants.
■ Never remove the fuel filler cap or top up with
petrol when the engine is running or hot.
■ Allow the engine and exhaust parts to cool be-
fore refilling.
■ If petrol has overflowed try not to start the en-
gine but remove the machine from the petrol
contaminated surface before starting.
6.4 Risidual risks
Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose. Residual risks can be minimised if the “6. Safety information” and the “5. Intended use”
as well as the whole of the operating instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-obvious residual risks can still exist:
■ Injury by catapulted parts.
■ Breaking or catapulting of knife pieces.
■ Carbon monoxide poisioning when using the device in
closed or poorly ventilated rooms.
■ Burning when touching hot parts.
■ Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
7. Working instructions
Carry out the following checks before starting and regularly
during working with the hedge trimmer:
• Is the hedge trimmer assembled completely and properly?
Check also that all nuts and screws are tightened.
• Is the hedge trimmer in good and safe condition?
- Do all safety devices properly work?
• Is the fuel tank filled?
• Is the cutting device undamaged and sharpened?
• Are engine and silencer free from deposits, leaves or emerging lubricants.
• Is handhold clean and dry – free of oil, grease and resin?
• Is workplace free of risks to stumble?
• Do you wear the required protective equipment?
• Did you read and understand all advices?
• Is the throttle trigger easy-running and functioning?
• Does the ON/OFF switch properly work?
• Does the cutting device always stop in idle mode?
If the cutting device moves during idling the idle speed must be
reduced (see “12.2 Adjusting the idle speed”).
• Check that the gearbox is sufficiently lubricated (see “12.
Cleaning and Maintenance”).
7.1 General behaviour when working with the
hedge trimmer
• Never work alone. Another person should stay close enough
to hear calls for help.
• Keep children, bystanders and animals at a distance (15m
min.) from your working area.
• Do not work on snow, ice or other slippery ground – slip
hazard.
• Do not work under insufficient light conditions (e.g. fog, rain,
snow flurry or twilight).
• Scare animals off the hedge before starting to cut in order to
prevent them from being injured.
• Provide for a safe and cleaned workplace. Remove from the
working area objects which might be thrown off.
• Avoid abnormal posture. Keep at any time the balance. Do
not work with the upper part of the body leaned forward.
• Operate the hedge trimmer only with safe standing position.
• Stop the hedge trimmer when moving to another work place.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting device when it
moves.
• Hold the hedge trimmer so that you do not inhale exhaust
gases. Do not work in closed rooms.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer to pick up or remove wood
pieces or other objects.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of the hedge
(e.g. wires) as these can damage the knives of the hedge
trimmer.
• Hold the hedge trimmer always firmly with both hands, left
hand on the front handhold and right hand on the rear handhold).
• If you release the throttle trigger the cutting device will afterrun for a short time (free wheeling effect).
• Start trimming with the cutting device moving.
• Never touch the cutting device with your hands during operation.
7GB/IE/NI
• Never work
- with stretched arms
- on hardly accessible places
- too far bent forward
• Never work with the hedge trimmer above shoulder height.
• Never get in contact with the running cutting device with metallic fences or the ground.
• Stop the engine and pull the spark plug connector:
- when you notice changes in the device’s behaviour,
- to remove jammed material,
- to check the cutting device after it had contact with stones,
nails or other hard objects,
- to eliminate faults,
- for work breaks,
- before leaving the hedge trimmer.
• Do not place a hot hedge trimmer in dry grass or onto inflammable objects.
• Before starting your work make sure that:
- no other persons or animals stay within the working area,
- you can always step back without any barriers,
- your standing area is free from foreign objects, brushwood and branches,
- you have always a secure standing position.
If persons who have blood circulation problems are too often
exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or to
blood vessels may occur.
7.2 You can reduce vibrations:
• by thick and warm working gloves,
• shorter working time (have longer breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers swell, you don’t feel well or your
fingers become numb.
7.3 Working with the hedge trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe distance
from the body.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood’s type,
age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to
your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer can be
guided forward and backward or by oscillating movements
from one to another side.
• At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower
hedge area from growing bare due to insufficient light.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when
you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion
of the hedge.
7.4 Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off
hedge trimming or leave this area out.
At any case pay attention to all safety instructions.
7.5 Behaviour in the event of malfunctions or accidents
In case of malfunctions or accidents, immediately press the on/
off switch (6) to turn off the hedge trimmer.
7.6 First aid
For potentially occurring accidents, the First Aid kit, according
to DIN 13164, should always be handy at the work place.
Material taken from the First Aid kit must be replaced immediately.
When you are requesting help, give the following information:
• Location of accident
• Type of accident
• Number of injured people
• Type of injuries
• Who is reporting
