OPERATION OF THE MACHINE

-Never operate the hedge trimmer with a loose grip.

-Never touch the cutting blades when starting the engine and during operation.

-Operate the hedge trimmer in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (Risk of gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.

-All protective equipment such as a guard supplied with the machine must be used during operation.

-Never operate the engine if the muffler is faulty or missing.

-Use the hedge trimmer only in good light and visibility.

-During the winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow. (Risk of slipping.) Always ensure a safe footing.

-Never stand on a ladder and run the hedge trimmer. Keep both feet on the ground.

-Never climb up the trees with the hedge trimmer to perform cutting operation.

-Never work on unstable surfaces.

-Remove sand, stone, nails, wire, etc. found within the working area. Foreign objects may damage the cutting blades.

-Prior to the cutting operation, cut away 8 mm or thicker branches with pruning shears.

-Before commencing cutting, the cutting blades must have reached full working speed.

-Always hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both hands on the handles.

-Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the handles.

-When you release the throttle, it takes a few moments before the cutting blades stop.

-Do not operate the hedge trimmer with high idle speed. You cannot adjust the cutting speed with the throttle control if the idle speed is too high.

-During the cutting operation, hold the hedge trimmer so that the blades form a

15-30° angle with the cutting line.

-Pay special attention when cutting hedges close to or against wire fences.

-Do not touch hard objects such as wire fence, stone or ground with the cutter blades. It may cause blades to crack, chip or break.

-Should the cutting blades hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch off the engine and inspect the cutting blades for damage. Replace damaged blades before re-commencing work.

-Take a rest periodically. Makita recommends to take a 10- to 20-minute rest every 50 minutes of use.

-Switch off the engine immediately in case of any engine problems.

-Operate the hedge trimmer with as little noise and contamination as possible. In particular check the correct setting of the carburetor and the fuel/oil ratio.

-Never attempt to remove jammed cut material when blades are running. Put unit down, turn it off, and remove necessary cuttings.

The rear handle can be turned down to 90° to the left or right side and set at every

45°.

To change the angle:

1.Press the release lever to release the lock.
