Transporting the Pole Hedge Trimmer

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact, never
carry or transport your tool with the cutter blades moving.
It may be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the
shaft in a manner that the machine is balanced horizon-
tally. Keep the hot muffler away from your body. Keep the
cutting attachment behind you.
Always switch off the engine and fit the scabbard over
the cutter blades before transporting the power tool over
long distances. When transporting it in a vehicle, properly
secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage
to the unit.
On machines with an adjustable cutter bar: Make sure the
cutter bar is secured in position.

Before Starting

Warning!
Always check your attachment for proper condition and
operation before starting. Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
Never use a engine that is damaged or not properly main-
tained. Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is
particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch,
oil, grease or resin in order for you tomaintain a firm grip
and properly control your engine.
The cutting tool must be properly tightened and in safe
operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws,
etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades.
Regularly check the condition and tightness of the cutter
blades – with the engine stopped!
Replace damaged cutter blades before using the power
tool. Always keep blades sharp.
We recommend that you always spray the cutter blades
with resin solvent before starting work - with the engine
stopped!
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to suit your size
before starting work.

Starting

On machines with an adjustable cutter bar: Secure the
cutter bar in the starting position as described in the
chapter "Starting/Stopping the Engine." If this starting
position is not the desired cutting position, you will then
need to carefully adjust the machine to the desired posi-
tion once the engine has returned to idle and the blades
are no longer moving.
On machines with a defined transport position (cutter bar-
folded against the drive tube): 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 startto
adjust the cutter bar to the desired cutting position (where
the blades are engaged).
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, start the en-
gine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling spot, out-
doors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the appropri-
ate section of your Engine manual (4. Engine). Proper
starting methods reduce the risk of injury.
Place the saw trimmer on firm ground or other solid sur-
face in an open area or, in the alternative, as shown in the
above picture. Maintain good balance and secure
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact, be abso-
lutely sure that the cutting tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the ground.
Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle
trigger, which should release the starting throttle and al-
low the engine to slow down to idle.
With the engine running only at idle, attach the power
tool to the spring hook of your harness (see appropriate
chapter of this manual).
See also the Safety Precautions on Starting in the in-
struction manual of the power tool.

During Operation

See "Important Adjustments" of ENGINE as well.
Warning!
Never attempt to operate your power tool with
one hand. Loss of control of the power tool re-
sulting in serious or fatal injury may result. To
reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep hands and
feet away from the cutting tool. Never touch a
moving cutting tool with your hand orany other
part of your body.
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 stumbling. For better footing, cleara-
way fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.To
reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work
on a ladder, in a tree or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder height.
