OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
–
Never operate with a loose grip.
–
Never touch the cutting device when starting the engine and during operation.
–
Operate the Hedge Trimmer in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of
the exhaust gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (Risk of gas
poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.
–
All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be
used during operation.
–
Never operate the engine with a faulty exhaust muffler or if it is missing.
–
Use the Hedge Trimmer only in good light and visibility.
During the winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow.
(Risk of slipping.) Always ensure a safe footing.
–
Never stand on a ladder and run the Hedge Trimmer. Keep both feet on the
ground.
–
Never climb up the trees with the Hedge Trimmer to perform cutting
operation.
–
Never work on unstable surfaces.
–
Remove sand, stone, nails, wire, etc. found within the working area.
Foreign objects may damage the cutting blades.
–
Before commencing cutting, the cutting blades must have reached full
working speed.
–
Always hold the Hedge Trimmer firmly with both hands on the handles only.
–
The right hand grips the front handle of model HT-2576 E.
This is the way to safely operate the machine.
–
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the handles.
–
When you release the throttle, it takes a few moments before the cutting
blades stop.
–
The Hedge Trimmer must not be used for cutting with fast idle. The cutting
speed cannot be adjusted with the throttle control in fast idle position.
–
When cutting a hedge, the machine should be held so that the blades form a
15-30° angle with the cutting line.
–
If the Hedge Trimmer is used with circular movements against the edge of the
hedge, the twigs will be thrown directly to the ground.
–
At vertical cutting, the Hedge Trimmer is used with circular pendulation,
swinging up and down close to the hedge.
–
Pay special attention when cutting hedges which are laid out a long a wire-
fence and have grown through the fence.
The blade must not contact the fence, otherwise the blades may be
destroyed.
–
Do not use the Hedge Trimmer continuously for a long time. It is normal to
take a break of 10 to 20 minutes after every 50 minutes operation.
–
Should the cutting blades hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch
off the engine and inspect the cutting blades for damage. Replace damaged
blades before re-commencing work.
–
The engine must be switched off immediately in case of any engine problems.
–
Operate the Hedge Trimmer with as little noise and contamination as
possible. In particular check the correct setting of the carburetor and the fuel/
oil ratio.
–
Do not attempt to remove jammed cut material when blades are running. Put
unit down, turn it off, and remove necessary cuttings.
