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 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.

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.)

!WARNING!

Never use a hedge trimmer with defective protective equipment. Follow the control, maintenance and service instructions described in this section.

1.Throttle trigger lock

WARNING!

!Remove your hearing protection as soon as

you stop the engine, so that you can hear

any noises or warning signals.

GLOVES

Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when inspect- ing, cleaning or assembling cutting 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

Use anti-slip and stable boots.

CLOTHING

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.
