•Store the machine out of reach of children.

•Use only original spare parts for repairs.

•Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides.

•Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.

•When trimming a hedge the engine should always face away from the hedge.

•Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

•Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.

•Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly.
