Trimming Operation - Honda Power Products HHH25D Manuel De L'utilisateur

Read and understand the safety instructions on pages 5 to 14 before
operating the hedge trimmer.
If you notice any abnormal sound, smell, vibration, or other unusual
signs, stop the engine immediately and consult your authorized Honda
dealer.
Grip the handles with both your hands.
HHH25D: Use either of your hands for the front loop and use the other
for the rear handle (throttle grip).
HHH25S: Use your right hand for the front handle and use your left
hand for the rear handle (throttle grip).
CAUTION:
Do not use the hedge trimmer with one hand.
Do not operate the hedge trimmer if the operating cutter blade could
reach your feet. Your feet can get injured if the operating cutter blade
touches your feet.
NOTE:
This hedge trimmer is designed to trim the hedge, which is designed to
cut off the branches of up to 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter. Do not use
the hedge trimmer to cut off the thicker branches beyond the above
limit and do not use it to cut a hard material except a wood, either. It
can damage the cutter blade and driving parts of the gear case and
possibly shorten the service life of them.
Basic operation:
• Operate the hedge trimmer with care and continual movement to
prevent the exhaust blowing onto one place of the hedge.
• When you grip the throttle lever with the engine running, the engine
speed increases and the cutter blade starts to operate. Adjust the
engine speed according to the size of a hedge.
CAUTION:
Increase the engine speed when you start to operate the hedge
trimmer. Operating the trimmer at a low engine speed may cause
engine failures.
