!WARNING!
The gearbox and clutch drum must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can become loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the hedge trimmer about 3 metres from the filling position before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Bear in mind that the blades start to move when the engine is started. Make sure the blades cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no unau- thorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury.
