Starting the Pole Hedge Trimmer
- 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. In general, avoid using the hedge trimmer whenever people (in
particular children) are nearby.
- Before starting the Pole Hedge Trimmer, always make sure that the machine is in
safe operational condition.
- Check the operation of the throttle lever safety mechanism. The lock-off lever
should have a smooth and easy action. Make sure that the lock-off lever
functions properly. Check that the handles are clean and dry and test the STOP
switch to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Always start the pole hedge trimmer in accordance with the directions provided in
this instruction manual.
Follow the instructions below to start the pole hedge trimmer
- Start the pole hedge trimmer only after the machine has been completely
assembled and all accessory parts have been attached.
- Before starting the engine, make sure that cutter blades are not obstructed by
any foreign objects such as stones, branches, etc.
- Stop the engine immediately if engine problems occur.
- When operating the pole hedge trimmer, always maintain a firm grip on both
handles. Wrap your fingers tightly around each handle, cradling the handle

handles are in good condition and free of moisture, mud, oil or grease.

or tunnel without ventilation (risk of suffocation and gas poisoning). Note that
carbon monoxide is an odorless gas. Always make sure that areas where the
engine is operated are adequately ventilated.

unattended. Place the machine in a safe location and make sure that no
combustible material is nearby.

seriously damage the machine.
