WORKING TECHNIQUES • Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

Basic working techniques • Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides. • Remove the screw. • Insert the combination spanner into the gear housing and move the blades manually Safety instructions after completing work • Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load. • Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance. • The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use. • Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug. • Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts. • Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground. • Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly. • Store the machine out of reach of children. • Use only original spare parts for repairs. 1155986-49 Rev. 2 2014-08-22 English - 17
