Safety

DANGER!

THE ARTICULATED HEDGE TRIMMER IS NOT INSU- LATED AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Approaching or contacting electri- cal lines with the trimmer could cause death or serious injury. Keep the trimmer at least 10 meters away from electrical lines or branches that contact electrical lines.

An articulated hedge trimmer has the potential to cause serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders if misused, abused or mishandled. To reduce the risk of injury, you must maintain control at all times, and observe all safety precautions dur- ing operation. Never permit a person without training or instruction to oper- ate this trimmer!

WARNING!

Do not make unauthor-

ized modifications or alterations to

your articulated hedge trimmer or its components.

WARNING!

Never operate this tool or any other power equipment if you are tired,

ill, or under the influence of alcohol,

drugs, or any substance that could affect your ability or judgement.

Operating Precautions

■■Never transport the articulated hedge trimmer or leave it unat- tended with the engine running.

An engine that’s running could be accidently accelerated causing the blades to oscillate.

■■Make sure that the blade cover is in place when transporting or storing the articulated hedge trimmer.

■■Always make sure that the cut- ter attachment and all handles and guards are properly installed and firmly tightened before operation.

■■Inspect for broken, missing or improperly installed parts or attachments.

■■Never use a cracked or warped cut- ter or cutter bar: replace it with a serviceable one and make sure it fits properly.

■■Make sure there are no missing or loose fasteners, and that the stop switch and throttle controls are work- ing properly.

WARNING!

■■Make sure there is always good ventilation when operating the artic- ulated hedge trimmer. Fumes from engine exhaust can cause seri- ous injury or death. Never run the engine indoors!

■■Never smoke or light fires near the hedge trimmer. Keep the unit away from excessive heat. Engine fuel is very flammable and fire could lead to serious personal injury or prop- erty damage.

■■Make sure the cutters are cor- rectly adjusted before operating the articulated hedge trimmer (see the section ”Cutter Adjustment” for cut- ter adjustment procedures). Never attempt cutter adjustment with the engine running!

■■Before starting the engine, make sure the cutter is not contacting anything.

■■Always confirm safe operation when using the machine.

■■Immediately stop the engine with the stop switch if the machine sud- denly begins to vibrate or shake.

■■Always stop the engine imme- diately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the machine becomes tangled. Do not operate with broken or damaged equipment.

■■When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for spring- back so that you will not be struck by the moving branch.

■■If a cutter should bind fast in a cut,

shut off the engine immediately. Push the branch or tree to ease the bind and free the cutter.

■■Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Avoid overfilling and wipe off any fuel that may have spilled.

■■To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine and muffler free of debris, leaves, or excessive grease

■■Keep a Solid Stance. Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders. Do not over reach.
