PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

- At all times allow a 15-meter diameter safety zone around the working area.
Make sure that all persons (in particular children) and/or animals remain outside
this zone.
- Before using the pole hedge trimmer, make sure that the machine is in safe
operational condition. Make sure that the cutting blades are not damaged, and
check the throttle lever for easy action. Make sure that the cutting blades are
not in motion when the engine is idling. If the machine is not operating normally,
contact your dealer to have the machine adjusted. Make sure that the handles
are clean and dry, and test whether the I-O switch is functioning properly. Start
the engine only in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Do not
use any other methods to start the pole hedge trimmer.
- Start the engine of the pole hedge trimmer only after having read and fully
understood the instructions. Never attempt to start a pole hedge trimmer that has
not been fully assembled. Serious injury may result otherwise.
- Before starting the engine, always make sure that the cutting blades are not
obstructed by stones, branches or any other solid objects.
- Check the working area for wires, cord, glass or other foreign objects that could
get caught in the cutting blades.
- Electrical shock: Be aware of all electrical lines in the vicinity. Check the entire
work area for the presence of power lines and electrical fences before starting to
work.
