To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Stop the engine and make sure that the engine switch is in the OFF
position in the following cases:
– Before any operation around the cutter blade.
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the hedge trimmer.
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the hedge trimmer for
damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the
hedge trimmer again.
– If hedge trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally. Check immediately
the cause of the vibration and perform the necessary repair.
• Turn the engine switch to the OFF position and stop the engine in the
following cases:
– Whenever you leave the hedge trimmer unattended.
– Before refueling.
– When any person or pet is approaching.
– Shut off the engine immediately when the hedge trimmer shows
abnormal vibration suddenly. Sudden vibration can suggest the
damaged sliding parts or loose fasteners. Examine the cause of the
problem, and do not start the engine before repair is made.
– Shut off the engine immediately when, after returning the throttle
lever, the cutter blade still operates. Examine the cause of the
problem, and do not start the engine before repair is made.
– When a wire catches on the cutter blade. Remove the wire after
stopping the engine. If you remove it without stopping the engine,
the cutter blade starts to operate and you may get injured.
– Before placing the hedge trimmer on the ground, make sure the
cutter blade stops turning as well.
Note that the cutter blade is operating by inertia right after
returning the throttle lever and while the engine is idling.
