To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Be careful not to cut anything hard such as a wire or iron plate. It
causes a failure or accident.
If the hedge trimmer should touch an obstacle, stop the engine
immediately and check if there is a problem with the cutter blade. If
the cutter blade has any damage such as cracks, bent, discoloration
because of extreme heat, and excessive wear, do not use it.
If you use a cracked cutter blade, broken pieces of the blade may fly
away.
• The hedge trimmer is faulty when the engine is idling by returning the
throttle but the cutter blade keeps moving. Stop the engine
immediately and idle speed adjustment must be made. Consult your
authorized Honda dealer.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the hedge trimmer is
in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is an essential aid to
user's safety and retaining a high level of performance.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer with worn or damaged parts. Parts
must be replaced, or repaired. Replace worn or damaged parts with
Honda genuine parts. Non equivalent quality parts may damage the
machine and be prejudicial to your safety.
• Hold the hedge trimmer firmly with both your hands during operation
to keep the trimmer under control at all times.
• Trim a hedge with the cutter blade facing outward.
Do not turn the cutter blade or bring it closer to your body.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer, reaching out. Do not use it on a
ladder, a table or other unstable places.
