SAFETY RULES

Precautions to Reduce Vibration Risk

• The hedge trimmer is provided with anti-vibration (AV) system; never alter or modify it.

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.

• Keep the blade sharp and the hedge trimmer, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull blade will

increase cutting time, will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands.

• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressures, take

frequent breaks. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain white-

finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely

the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice

immediately.

Maintenance Precaution

WARNING: Never operate a hedge trimmer that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not

completely and securely assembled.

• Be sure that the blade stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the blade moves at

idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting, see Operation-Carburetor Adjusting Section.

If the blade moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Servicing Dealer for adjust-

ment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

WARNING: All hedge trimmer service, other than items in the Operator's Manual mainte-

nance instructions, have to be performed by competent hedge trimmer service personnel.

(If improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used

to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could

occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could

result.)

• Never modify your hedge trimmer in any way.

• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.

WARNING: Use only accessories and replacement parts recommended.

• Never touch the blade or attempt to service the hedge trimmer while the engine is running.

• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.

• Keep the hedge trimmer in a dry place, off the ground with the blade cover on and the tanks empty.

• If your hedge trimmer is no longer usable, dispose of it properly without damaging the environment by

handing it in to your local Dealer who will arrange for its correct disposal.

• Replace immediately any safety device when damaged or broken.

WARNING: The muffler and other parts of the engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)

become hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping the engine.

To reduce risk of burns do not touch the muffler and other parts while they are hot.
