5 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

5.1 Work area

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.  Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

5.2 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do

not use a tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating tools may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.

 Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

POWXQG3050 EN

5.3 Engine tool use and care

 Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed.

 Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

tool or these instructions to operate the tool. The tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

 Use the tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in

the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

5.4 Service

 Have your tool serviced by a qualified person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.

6 PETROL SAFETY WARNINGS

 Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a risk of

explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.

 Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach

dangerous concentrations.

 Protect your tool. This hedge trimmer is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not be

exposed to direct sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or high humidity conditions.

 Do not smoke while refueling. This is potentially dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and

cause an explosion.

 Take care not to spill fuel. When refueling the hedge trimmer ensure that the motor has

been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine running.

 Be careful where you store the hedge trimmer. Store the hedge trimmer in a dry area

away from flammable liquids.

 Keep your distance. The hedge trimmer emits exhaust fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a

safe distance.

 Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke

oil. If not, the engine will overheat and cause damage to your hedge trimmer.

7 FUEL

7.1 Fuel and oil mixture

For best results use regular unleaded petrol mixed with 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil on a ratio of 40:1.

WARNING: Never use unmixed petrol in your engine. This will cause

permanent damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for the product.

Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 30 days.

WARNING: 2-stroke lubricant must be a premium grade oil for 2-stroke aircooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-stroke oil product with
