NEVER transport the unit or leave it unattended with the engine running. An engine that’s running could be acci- dently accelerated causing the blades to move.

Make sure that the blade cover is in place when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer.

ALWAYS make sure that the cutter attachment and all handles and guards are properly installed and firmly tight- ened before operation.

Inspect for broken, missing or improp- erly installed parts or attachments. NEVER use a cracked or warped cutter or cutter bar: replace it with a service- able one and make sure it fits properly. Make sure there are no missing or loose fasteners, and that the stop switch and throttle controls are working properly.

Make sure there is always good ventila- tion when operating the hedge trimmer. Fumes from engine exhaust can cause serious injury or death. NEVER run the engine indoors!

WARNING!

Use Good Judgement

NEVER smoke or light fires near the hedge trimmer. Keep the unit away from excessive heat. Engine fuel is very flammable and fire could lead to serious personal injury or property damage.

Do not operate this machine with the muf- fler removed.

NEVER attempt cutter adjustment with the engine running!

Before starting the engine, make sure the cutter is not contacting anything. ALWAYS confirm safe operation when using the machine.

Immediately stop the engine with the stop switch if the machine suddenly begins to vibrate or shake.

ALWAYS stop the engine immediately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the machine becomes tangled. Do not oper- ate with broken or damaged equipment.

When cutting a branch that is under ten- sion, be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck by the moving branch.

If a cutter should bind fast in a cut, shut off the engine immedi- ately. Push the branch or tree to ease the bind and free the cutter. ALWAYS stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling. Avoid overfilling and wipe off any fuel that may have spilled. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine and muffler free of debris, leaves, or excessive grease.

KEEP A SOLID STANCE Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders. Do not over reach.
