5 Safety Instructions
To use the hedge trimmer safely it is important to follow all
instructions and information in the instruction manual dealing
with safety, assembly and machine operation. Anybody who
will carry out machine operation or maintenance should be
familiar with the instruction manual. Children should not use
the hedge trimmer. When operating this unit the user should be
vigilant of proximity to other people, animals and any potential
hazards. This hedge trimmer should be used in conjunction
with any laws or bylaws. The manufacturer cannot be hold
liable if unauthorised changes were carried out to the machines
and the changes resulted in damage.
Caution! When using machine tools it is important
to follow basic preventive measures. Please follow
the tips and instructions stated in the additional
safety instructions.
1. Use the hedge trimmer in safe working conditions. The
Morrison Hedge Trimmer is only designed for outdoors use.
Use only outdoors to avoid build up of noxious gases.
Always inspect your working area for potential hazards
before beginning work.
2. Keep a safe proximity to others. Always maintain a safe
distance (outside of swing radius) from any other persons,
or animals.
3. Ensure safe tool storage. Machines that are not at
use should be stored at a dry place if possible high up
alternatively they should be locked away so that other
persons could not gain access to them.
4. Use the right tool for each job. Only use the Morrison
Hedge Trimmer on work specified by the manufacturer.
5. Wear appropriate clothing. Wear clothes that
are strong and not loose fitting when operating
machine.
6. Use personal protective aids. Wear safety shoes
with steel toe boxes and non slippery soles.
7. Wear protective glasses. Objects can be flung
away by the machine.
8. Wear hearing protective aids. Wear hearing
protective aids, e.g. ear plugs.
9. Hand protection. Wear thick gloves – good
protection is provided by gloves made of leather.
10. Hedge trimmer transportation. Only transport
the hedge trimmer when turned off and with blade cover in
position.
11. Do not use hedge trimmer while impaired. Never use
this machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or any mind altering substance. Do not use when suffering
injury that will affect use.
12. Switch unit off before refuelling. Switch hedge
trimmer off and allow to cool before refuelling.
Never use fuel near naked flame. Be sure to avoid
smoking near fuel and machinery.
13. Usage period and breaks. After a longer period of usage
you might experience problems with blood circulation in
your hands due to the vibrations. The period of usage can
be extended by wear ing suitable gloves and taking regular
breaks. Please be aware that the time of usage is lowered
by personal dispositions to bad circulation, a low outside
temperature or a firm grip of the tool when working.
14. Watch for damaged parts. The machine should be
carefully inspected before use. If there is damage of any
sort this should be assessed ,and if necessary repaired by
a Garden Product Service person before use.
15. Make sure that the protective cover of the hedge trimmer
works perfectly and it is installed in such a way that the
knife teeth are always covered.
16. Turn off machine before repairing. Ensure machine is
turned off before beginning repair/adjustment work.
Caution!! Using other knife bars and other
fixtures and extensions that are not expressly
recommended can endanger people and property.
The machine can be used only for the designed purpose. Any
machine usage at variance with its purpose is considered
unprofessional usage. The user is liable for the damage caused
to property and injuries resulting from this unprofessional
handling, and not the manufacturer.
The manufacturer cannot be liable in case the machine was
modified or used unprofessionally and damage arose as the
result of these actions.
When handling the machine professionally there is always
some risk that cannot be eliminated.
The machine type and construction might present the
following potential risks:
• Contact with an unprotected knife bar
(danger of cutting yourself)
• Touching the trimmer in operation
(danger of cutting yourself)
• Unexpected, sudden movements of the cut material and its
parts (danger of cutting yourself)
• Spurning of faulty knife teeth and parts of knife bar
(danger of cutting yourself)
• Hearing injuries if appropriate safety aids are not worn.
• Creation of harmful dust or gas when using the machine in
closed premises (sickness).
• Do not use deformed or damaged cutting knives
(knife bar destruction).
If you have any doubt over condition of petrol
hedge trimmer, consult a specialist garden
product service person before beginning use.
6 Before the first use
of the machine
Caution! Before you start using the hedge trimmer
make sure it is in a sound operational condition. If
you have any doubts, do not start the machine!
Pay attention mainly to the following points:
• Cutting knives are installed in correct position
• All switches are going easily
• Spark plug is installed safely. If the plug is loose sparking
can occur followed by ignition of the created mixture of
fuel and air.
Before starting the machine all necessary safety and protective
devices must be duly installed in their positions.
The cutting knife must be loose enough to move.
Before starting the hedge trimmer make sure the knife is
installed correctly and the movable parts are not jammed.
Caution! If in any doubts contact a specialist
grade product service person.
7 Starting the machine (pict. a)
1. Pour mixed fuel into the relevant tank. Make sure you do
not spill any fuel (danger of ignition). Fuel mix composition
can be found in Chapter 12.
2. Move at least 3 metres from the place of refuelling. Do not
start the machine in closed or badly ventilated premises.
3. Click switch (3) into the ON position. If starting a cold
engine the choke switch (8) must be moved to the left.
4. Using the hand fuel
pump (9) fuel can
be pumped into
the carburettor.
This will lessen the
number of start
attempts after a
longer break.
5. Now place the
hedge trimmer
on the ground,
straddle the
machine and place
one hand on the
side grip (7). Use
your other hand
to pull the starting
cable (1) and wait
for the engine to start.
ATTENTION! Do not pull too much; the cable
length is 90 cm. Watch the movable knife.
6. Once the engine is running, pump the throttle fully a few
times. After about the fourth time you can move the choke
to the right.
7. Using the tongue (5) you can move the handle. If you
want to switch off the machine, put the switch (3) into the
“OFF” position.
