persons, always check the presence and locations of others so as to maintain a distance each person sufficient to ensure safety.

d.Never use blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any way.
e.Keep the blade always sharp.
f.Filing the cutting edges, keep the end corner sharp and round the root of the edge.
g.Check the bolt to fasten the blade and be sure the blade turns smoothly without abnormal noise.
■NOTES ON STARTING THE ENGINE
1.Take a careful look around to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15m or less around
2.Place the body of the hedge- trimmer onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the blades nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the engine starts up.
3.Place the throttle into the idling position when starting the engine.
4.After starting up the engine, if the blades continue to rotate even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and check the throttle wire and other parts.
