Warped or damaged

Inspect and replace

 

■Always make sure the cutter attachment is properly installed and firmly tightened before operation.

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

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

■Always stop the engine immediately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the unit 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.

■Stop the unit immediately if it suddenly begins to vibrate or shake. Inspect for broken, missing or improperly installed parts or attachments.

■Do not operate the articulated hedge trimmer with the muffler removed.

■Make sure there is always good ventilation when operating the articulated hedge trimmer. Fumes from engine exhaust can cause serious injury or death. Never run the engine indoors!

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

■If a cutter should bind fast in a cut, shut off the engine immedi- ately. Push the branch or tree to ease the bind and free the cutter.

■Make sure the cutters are correctly adjusted before operating the articulated hedge trimmer (see page 24 for cutter adjustment procedures). Never attempt cutter adjustment with the engine running!
