front grip safety

Grasp the rear handle (C/6) with the other hand and start the

safeties (C/5 and C n ) are depressed.
To switch off: Release one or both grip safeties. The trimmer
will stop immediately.

Hold the trimmer with both hands and move it in front of your
body (see fig.

When operating the trimmer, keep extension cord behind trim-
mer. Never drape it over hedge being trimmer.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or other
hard objects while trimming. The blade will break and may
cause serious injury.
Do not attempt to trim too much at a time, or malfunction of
the tool may result.
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 16 mm
(0.6)
diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with shears

down to the hedge trimmer level.
Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a
ladder, is extremely dangerous. Don't work from anything
wobbly or infirm (see fig.
