grip on the front handle.
Check that the hand guard is fitted correctly.
Check that the hand guard is undamaged.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
The machines vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machines handle unit.
The engine body,including the blades, is suspended on
the handlebar using four rubber bushings.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is
undamaged and securely attached.
Muffler
Themufflerisdesigned tokeep noiselevelsto a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes awayfrom the user.A muffler
fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce
harmful exhaust gases.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve
damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure
to vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes
in skin colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in the

Carbon Monoxide
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE IS A COLOURLESS,
ODOURLESS GAS. INHALING THIS GAS CAN CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS LONG-TERM HEALTH
PROBLEMS SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE.
Never operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous Carbon Monoxide fumes can develop. All
ignition operations have to be effected in an open or
well-ventilated area. Always remember that exhaust
fumes are toxic.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include
but are not limited to the following; Headaches, dizziness,
nausea, breathlessness, collapsing or loss of
consciousness.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flu,
food poisoning, viral infections and simply tiredness. It is
quite common for people to mistake this very dangerous
poisoning for something else.
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning DO NOT use Petrol/
Diesel powered equipment inside any of the following;
Home, garage, tent, camper van, mobile home, caravan
or boat. DO NOT use in an enclosed area or moving
vehicle. This is not exhaustive and if you are in any doubt
contact your dealer.
If you think you have or someone around you has been
affected by carbon monoxide poisoning; Get them fresh
air immediately, by leaving the affected area or by
opening doors and windows. If safe and practical to do so
make sure that the machine is turned off. DO NOT enter a
room you suspect of having carbon monoxide present –
instead call the emergency services.
Contact a Doctor immediately or go to
Hospital – let them know that you suspect carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Residual Risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's
construction and design:
1. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not
worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is
not worn.
3. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if
the power tool is being used over longer period of
time or not adequately managed and properly
maintained.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel safety
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel on it.Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes.Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap andwater.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularlyfor
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•Allowthehedgetrimmertocooldownafter usebefore
putting it away for storage.
•Storeandtransportthemachine and fuelso that there
isno risk of any leakage or fumes coming intocontact
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
•When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for thispurpose.
•When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excessfuel.
•Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•The transport guard must always be fitted tothe
cutting attachment when the machine is being
transported or in storage.
•Secure the machine during transport.
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always been run using a mixture of
petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately
measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that
the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small
amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically
affect the ratio of the mixture.
Petrol
CAUTION! Alwaysuseaqualitypetrol/oilmixtureatleast
90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a
catalyticconverter(seechapter onTechnicaldata)always
use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded
petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if
it is available.
•The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you
run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-
called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which can result in serious
engine damage.
•Whenworkingatcontinuoushighrevsahigheroctane
rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
•Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines.
•Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
•A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may
jeopardise function and decrease the life time of
catalytic converters.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are
highly inflammable and can cause
serious injury when inhaled or allowed to
come in contact with the skin. For this
reason observe caution when handling
fuel and make sure there is adequate
ventilation.
!
!
WARNING!Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.

refuelling area and source before
starting.
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Mixing
•Always mix the petrol and oil in a cleancontainer
intended for fuel.
•Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake)the fuelmixture.Add theremainingamount of
petrol.
•Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly beforefilling
the machine’s fuel tank.
•Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at
a time.
•If the machine is not used for some time the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
•Fuel/Oil ratio is 40:1
WARNING! The catalytic converter
muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances and/
or vapours.
