SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5. Muffler

Never use a machine that has a defective muffler.

Check regularly that the muffler is secure.

If your muffler is fitted with a spark arrest screen then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked screen leads to the engine overheating with serious damage as a result. Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrest screen.

6. Blades

To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact pressure between the blades is correct.

The contact pressure between the blades is adjusted by tightening the screws on the underside of the bar as far as they will go, then backing them off 1/4 turn. Lock the screws using the locking nuts on the top face of the bar. The washers should still slide freely under the screw heads after the screws have been tightened.

When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between the blades should be 0.2–0.4 mm, measured at the screws.

The edges of the blade are too hard to be filed. Dull blades should be sharpened using a grinder.

Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.

7. Blade guard (326HDA55)

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.

Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.

8. Gearbox

The gearbox gets hot when the hedge trimmer

is in use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gearbox.
