General safety
• Keep these instructions in a safe place for
reference at a later date.
• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of
the equipment.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the hedge
trimmer. Local regulations can restrict the
age of the operator.
• Never operate while people, especially
children or pets, are nearby. Keep in mind
that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
• This trimmer is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Do not touch the blade.
Personal safety
• Never start or run the engine in a closed
or poorly-ventilated area; breathing
exhaust fumes can kill.
• Clear the work area before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or other such
5
debris, which can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line or blade.
• Wear Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE), such as safety glasses or goggles,
when operating this unit.
• Wear heavy, long trousers, boots, and
gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing,
shorts, or go barefoot.
• Do not wear jewellery of any kind.
Operation safety
• Be careful about the environmental
conditions you work under. When starting
the motor, it will produce toxic gases.
The gas can be invisible and odourless;
therefore, you should never operate
the machine in an enclosed or poorly-
ventilated area.
• When trimming, ensure that the area
is well lit. If you are trimming when it is
raining, snowing or freezing on slopes, or
on uneven terrain, make sure you have a
stable position.
• Don’t leave the machine unattended.
People, especially children and the infirm,
should be kept at a safe distance from
your workplace. Make sure that other
people cannot access an unattended
machine.
• Ensure safe tool storage. Machines that
are not in use should be stored in a dry
place, high up if possible, or they should
be locked away so that other people
cannot gain access to them.

• Hedge trimmer transport. The hedge
trimmer is transported with a blade
protection cover. When not in use, replace
this cover to prevent accidents. Secure
the machine against tilting, damage and
fuel leakage.
• Remove tool keys. Before switching the
hedge trimmer on, remove all keys, etc.
• Always be careful and watch what you
are doing. When working, use common
sense. Do not use machinery if you are
tired. Do not use the hedge trimmer
under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or medicines that lower the ability to
concentrate.
• Fuel replenishment. Before refuelling,
switch off the engine. Carefully open the
fuel cap so that excess pressure can
escape slowly, and the fuel does not
splash. The use of the trimmer results in
high temperatures. Let the machine cool
down before refuelling, otherwise the
fuel could ignite, and people could get
burnt. When refuelling, make sure the fuel
tank is not over filled, to allow room for
expansion. If the fuel leaks, it is important
to wipe up any leaked fuel and clear the
machine. After refuelling, ensure the fuel
cap is sufficiently tight to prevent being
loosened by the vibrations when the
machine is in use.
• Usage period and breaks. After a longer
period of usage, you might experience
problems with blood circulation in your
hands due to the vibrations. The period
of usage can be extended by wearing
7
suitable gloves and taking regular breaks.
Please be aware that the time of usage is
lowered by personal dispositions to bad
circulation, a low outside temperature, or
a firm grip of the tool when working.
• Watch for damaged parts. The machine
should be carefully inspected before use.
Are any of the parts damaged? In case of
slight damage, consider if the machine
is still going to work safely and without
any problems. Make sure it is properly
adjusted and movable parts are properly
regulated. Are any elements interlocked
improperly? Is everything well installed?
Are all requirements for trouble-free
operation fulfilled? Damaged protective
devices, etc., must be repaired or replaced
by the authorised service centres, unless
expressly stated otherwise in the manual.
Faulty switches should also be replaced in
the authorised service centre. If you need
to have your machine repaired, contact
your nearest store.
• Make sure that the protective cover of
the hedge trimmer works perfectly, and
it is installed in such a way that the blade
teeth are always covered.
• Before adjustments or machine
maintenance, switch off the engine. This
is valid mainly if the cutting blade is being
replaced.
• Use only approved components. Use
only identical spare parts. Contact your
authorised service centre for this purpose.

blades, and other fixtures and
