English / USA !Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use the specified spark plug and make sure it and the ignition lead are always in good condition. Keep spark plug and wire connection tight and clean. The spark plug electrode gap should be checked with a feeler gauge at least every 50 operating hours and reset if necessary. Fit a new spark plug if the electrodes are badly pitted. Keep cutting tool sharp. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except the carburetor adjustment screws after each use. Always clean dust and dirt off the machine after finishing work. Do not use a grease solvent for cleaning! In some countries an aerosol can of resin solvent (protective spray), Part No. 0782 420 1002, is available for spraying the cutter blades. This resin solvent protects the cutter blades and has anticorrosive properties. Spray the cutter blades before and after work. Then start and run the hedge cutter briefly so that the resin solvent is evenly distributed over the blades. If the hedge itself is very dusty and dirty, spray the cutter blades more frequently. This greatly reduces blade friction and the damaging effects of sap and dust particles. !Warning! Do not operate your hedge cutter if the muffler is damaged, missing or modified. An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler or burn will result. If your muffler was equipped with a spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk of fire (e.g. in the USA, Canada and Australia), never operate your hedge cutter if the screen is missing or damaged. Remember that the risk of forest fires is greater in hot or dry weather. Keep the engine and muffler free from cuttings, chips, leaves, fibers and excess lubricant. For any maintenance please refer to the maintenance chart and to the warranty statement near the end of this manual. Store hedge cutter in a dry and high or locked location out of reach of children. Before storing for longer than a few days, always empty the fuel tank. HL 75, HL 75 K 11
