Safety instructions while working

Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position

Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the machine at the side of your body.

Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.

Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the cutting attachment when the engine is running.

When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the cutting attachment until it has stopped completely.

Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out during cutting.

Always lay the machine on the ground when you are not using it.

Check the working area for foreign objects such as electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other objects that could damage the cutting attachment, such as metal items.

If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged.

Repair any damage.

If anything gets caught up in the cutting equipment while you are working, switch off the engine and let it stop completely and remove the ignition lead before cleaning the cutting equipment.

This machine is not electrically insulated. If the machine touches or comes close to high-voltage power lines it could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

Safety instructions after completing work

The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.

Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

Basic working techniques

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.

Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.

Always work at full throttle.

Let the engine drop back to idle speed between each cut. Long periods at full throttle can cause serious damage to the centrifugal clutch.
