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.

EAR PROTECTION Ear protection offering sufficient dampening effect should be used.

EYE PROTECTION Blows from branches or objects thrown by the moving blades can damage the eyes.

BOOTS

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.
