To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Any part from the machine is a potential source of danger if the
machine is used in abnormal conditions or if the maintenance is not
done correctly.
• Read the owner's manual carefully. Be familiar with the controls and
their proper use of the hedge trimmer. Know how to stop the engine
rapidly.
• Use the hedge trimmer for the purpose it is intended for, that is
trimming for hedge.
Any other use could be dangerous or damage the hedge trimmer.
Do not use the hedge trimmer as a pruning hook.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with this owner's manual to
use the hedge trimmer. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
• If you lend or resell your hedge trimmer to a third person, instruct him
or her with how to handle the product and alert him or her to read
and understand the Owner's Manual carefully before operation.
• Never operate the hedge trimmer while:
– people, especially children or pets are nearby.
– user is fatigued or under medication, or has swallowed substances
known to affect judgement or reactions.
• Keep people and pets at least 4.5 m (15 ft.) away from the operator
during operation. Note that an assistant to the operator should work
at least 4.5 m (15 ft.) away from the operator, too. We recommend
to decide the engine stop signal and other signals between the
operator and assistant, and use them for safety during operation.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
