Always wear thick work gloves when adjusting the hedge trimmer.
Always place the blade cover provided over the blades when not in use.

Safe Handling of Fuel
The engine of the hedge trimmer is designed to run on a two-stroke oil/fuel mixture. This fuel is highly
ammable, never store cans of fuel or rell the fuel tank in any place where there is a source of heat or re
which might ignite the fuel.
Do not smoke whilst operating the hedge trimmer or relling, keep lit cigarettes away from the hedge
trimmer at all times.
When relling the fuel tank always stop the engine rst and carefully make sure that there are no sparks or
open ames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilled onto the
hedge trimmer before starting the engine.
After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and carry the hedge trimmer to a spot 5
metres or more away from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.
