[. . . ] Instruction Manual Read this instruction manual carefully before putting the hedge trimmer into operation and strictly observe the safety regulations!DOLMAR is the world’s oldest manufacturer of power chainsaws (since 1927). We have the longest experience in the business, and every DOLMAR hedge trimmer benefits from that experience.

[. . . ] a  fuel/oil mixture Refuelling FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel tank. Unscrew the tank cap and fill the tank with fuel mixture until it reaches the bottom edge of the filler neck. B Starting position for the HT-2556 D Start the trimmer only after it has been completely assembled!Move at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from where you fuelled the trimmer. Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the trimmer on the ground (cutter to the left). The tip of your right foot should be firmly placed in the rear handguard. Grasp the front grip firmly with your left hand and tip the trimmer away from yourself until you feel resistance (the cutter will be lifted slightly so that it is not touching the ground). Starting position for the HT-2576 E Start the trimmer only after it has been completely assembled!Move at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from where you fuelled the trimmer. Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the trimmer on the ground (cutter to the right). Grasp the rear grip firmly from the top with your left hand and tip the trimmer away from yourself until you feel resistance (the cutter will be lifted slightly so that it is not touching the ground). c  Cold start: Move the ON/OFF (I/O) switch (2) to position “I”. Press the fuel pump (5) several (7-10) times to supply fuel to the carburetor. Pull the starter cable by the grip (3) out slowly until you feel resistance (the piston is now before top dead center). Caution: Never pull the starter cable out more than about 50 cm (20“), and guide it back slowly by hand. As soon as the engine is running, grasp the grip (the safety cutoff (1) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and tap the throttle (4). The starting lever (6) will move to the RUN position and the engine will run in idle. Warm starting: Move the ON/OFF (I/O) switch (2) to position “I” and start the engine. Switching off the engine Move the ON/OFF (I/O) switch (2) to position “O” ( ). This makes adjustment of the idle and main nozzle superfluous, and these are impossible on this model. If necessary, the idle speed can be adjusted with the adjusment screw (8). [. . . ] Repair attempts by third parties or unauthorized persons will void the warranty.
