The machine’s protective equipment
This section describes the hedge trimmer’s protective equip-
ment, its function and how checks and maintenance are
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter
”What is what” to locate where this equipment is positioned on
your machine.)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can
turn it into a dangerous tool that can cause
serious or even fatal injury. It is extremely
important that you read and understand this
manual.
• When using a hedge trimmer, protective
equipment approved by the appropriate
authorities must be used. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an
injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer
for help when choosing protective equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Throttle trigger lock

The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. The trigger
(A) can only be pressed in, if
the lock (B) is held in (= the
operator holding the
handle). When the grip on
the handle is released the
throttle and the throttle
trigger lock return to their
original positions. This
takes place via two indepen-
dent return spring systems.
This means that the throttle
is automatically locked in
the idling position.

2. Stop switch

The stop switch (C) should
be used to stop the engine.

3. Hand guard

The hand guard (D)
prevents the operator’s
hands from coming into
contact with the blades. For
example, if the operator
should loose his grip on the
front handle.
WARNING!
Never use a hedge trimmer with defective
protective equipment. Follow the control,
maintenance and service instructions
described in this section.

!WARNING!

you stop the engine, so that you can hear
