Work area

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Personal safety
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Turn tool o completely before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.

Additional safety rules for
Petrol Hedge Trimmers
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair personnel using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there
is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a conned area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could
reach dangerous concentrations.
• Do not operate the hedge trimmer where power lines can cause a risk.
Be aware of overhead power lines.
• Protect your tool. This hedge trimmer is NOT WEATHERPROOF and
should not be exposed to direct sunlight, high ambient temperature and
damp, wet or high humidity conditions.
• Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially dangerous as it may
ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.

• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the hedge trimmer ensure
that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this
may also ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is
running.
• Be careful where you store the hedge trimmer. Store the hedge trimmer
in a dry area away from flammable liquids.
• Keep your distance. The hedge trimmer emits exhaust fumes. Ensure
bystanders keep a safe distance.
• Ensure you add both fuel and 4 stroke oil prior to starting the engine.
80mL of SAE 10W/30 4 stroke oil MUST be added to the oil reservoir, and
450ml of fresh unleaded fuel (Do not use ethanol based fuels) must be
filled in the fuel tank. Failure to add sufficient 4 stroke oil/fresh unleaded
fuel will result in damage to the engine which is NOT covered under the
warranty of the hedge trimmer.
• Never ll fuel tank indoors. Never ll fuel tank when engine is running or
hot.
