Operation, storage and monitoring
•
Wear close-fitting work clothing which is in good condition and which offers
protection, such as long trousers, sturdy work shoes, hard-wearing gloves,
a helmet, a face mask or goggles to protect your eyes, and good quality ear
defenders to reduce the noise.
•
Store the equipment in a safe place. Open the petrol tank cap slowly to release
any pressure that may have formed in the petrol tank. To prevent the risk of fire,
move at least 3 metres from the refueling area before you start the equipment.
•
Switch off the equipment before you put it down.
•
Always hold the equipment firmly in both hands. Your fingers and thumbs should
be wrapped around the handles.
•
Ensure that all screws and connecting elements are secure. Never use the
equipment if it has not been properly adjusted or has not been fully or
safely assembled.
•
Make sure that the handles are clean and dry and that there is no petrol mixture
on them.
•
Set the line spool to the required height. Avoid touching small objects such as
stones with the line spool.
•
When carrying out cutting work on a slope always stand at a lower level than
the cutting tool. Never cut or trim on a smooth, slippery hill or slope.
•
Keep all parts of your body and items of clothing away from the line spool when
you start the engine and when the engine is running. Before you start the engine
ensure that the line spool will not strike an obstacle.
•
Always switch off the engine before working on the cutting tool.
•
Store the equipment and accessories in a safe place protected from naked flames
and heat/ spark sources such as gas heaters, tumble driers, oil stoves or portable
radiators, etc.
•
Keep the guard hood, line spool and engine clear of cut debris at all times.
•
Only adequately trained people and adults may use, adjust and maintain
the equipment.
•
If you are not familiar with the equipment, practice handling it with the engine off.
•
Always check the site you want to cut before you begin your work. Solid objects
such as pieces of metal, bottles, stones, etc. can be catapulted away and cause
serious injuries and permanent damage to the equipment. If you touch a solid
object with the equipment by mistake, switch off the engine immediately and
check the equipment for signs of damage. Never use the equipment if it is
damaged or defective.
