◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Check the hedge for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences.
◾
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the hedge trimmer in
unexpected situations.
◾
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Special
care must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots and ditches to avoid fallen branches, scrub and cuttings.
Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.
◾
Observe the cutting blades at all times – do not cut any area if the
hedge that you cannot see. When cutting the top of a taller hedge, check
the other side of the hedge frequently for bystanders, animals and
obstructions.
◾
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking
up or holding the hedge trimmer.
◾
On machines with a defined transport position (cutting blade folded
flat against the hedge trimmer shaft): Never start the machine in the
transport position, since the blades are not engaged in that position and
you therefore cannot visually check to see that they will be stopped at
idle when you start to adjust the cutting blade to the desired cutting
position (where the blades are engaged).
◾
Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge trimmer. Any part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other condition that may affect its operation. Any part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
◾
Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent,
cracked, and worn). Replace the blade only with a blade from EGO
◾
Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes
vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or cause personal injury.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
