OPERATING THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER
- When working with the pole hedge trimmer, firmly grasp the handles with both
hands.
- Do not touch the cutter blade portion of the pole hedge trimmer during operation,
or when the engine is running.
- Take extra care not to inhale exhaust gases when working with the pole hedge
trimmer. Never operate the pole hedge trimmer in an enclosed room or an area
with insufficient ventilation (risk of suffocation and gas poisoning). Note that
carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that is, it cannot be detected by the sense
of smell.
- Always wear adequate protective wear before starting to work with the pole
hedge trimmer.
- Stop the engine immediately if the muffler is not functioning properly.
- Only use the pole hedge trimmer in good light and visibility conditions.
- Do not operate the pole hedge trimmer in darkness or fog. Beware of slippery
and wet areas (ice and snow) during the cold season (danger of slipping), and
always ensure secure footing.
- Never use the pole hedge trimmer while standing on an unstable surface or a
steep slope.
- Never use the pole hedge trimmer while standing on a ladder.
- Never climb a tree to use the pole hedge trimmer from the tree.
- Continuously check the working area for wires, cord, glass or other foreign
objects that could get caught in the cutter blades.
- Confirm that the cutter blades are in rapid motion before starting to cut.
- Always grip the pole hedge trimmer with both hands and maintain a firm grip
when working with the machine.
- To assure optimal control over the pole hedge trimmer, always completely wrap
your hands around the handles (use your thumb for counter pressure) and
apply a firm grip on the handles.
- Note that the cutter blades will remain in motion for up to two seconds after the
throttle lever has been released.
- Do not cut with the pole hedge trimmer at low engine speed.
- The speed of the cutter blades cannot be adjusted properly with the throttle
lever when the engine is running at low speed.
- To trim the top surface of a hedge, first align the cutting tool at an angle of
15°~30° in the cutting direction and keep the pole hedge trimmer in a horizontal
position. Then start trimming the hedge using a swinging movement, much like
drawing circle segments with the hedge trimmer shaft.
- To trim the sides of a hedge, align the blades parallel to the surface to be cut and
start trimming with semi-circular upward (down-up) movements.
- Pay attention when trimming a hedge that has grown along a fence. Be
especially careful not to allow the cutter blades from coming into contact with
solid matter such as a metal fence. Cutting into solid matter such as metal, stone,
concrete or thick wood may damage the blades and/or cause overall breakdown
of the machine.
- Do not use the pole hedge trimmer over an extended period of time. As a general
rule, for every 50 minutes of operation take a 10-20 minutes rest.
- If the cutter blades come into contact with stones or other solid objects, stop the
engine immediately and check the blades for damage. Replace the blades if
damaged.
- If the pole hedge cutter develops a problem during operation (strange noises,
vibration, etc.), immediately stop the engine. Do not use the machine again until
the problem has been recognized and solved.
- Always do your utmost to keep pollution and noise emissions as low as possible
when operating the pole hedge trimmer. Pay special attention to correct
carburetor adjustment and accurate gasoline/oil mixture.
- If thick branches get jammed in the cutter blades, immediately stop the engine,
lay the equipment on the ground and remove the obstruction. Check the blades
for damage before using the machine again.
