Do not overstretch. Maintain both feet on the floor in
a well balanced position at all times. Stay alert when
working or moving on bumpy ground.
When pressing the trigger of the gun, the pushing force
will have a backward drive on yourself. Always hold the
lance with both hands and with strength and always be
in a stable position so as not to slip or fall over.
Keep all parts of body away from moving parts when
the machine is running.
If you are not an expert end use, we strongly
recommend that you practice with some simple chores.
If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop the engine,
inspect the machine and look for the possible cause
and repair. If you cannot find the cause of the problem
take the machine to the service technician.
Do not touch the machine’s exhaust pipe
while the engine is running or shortly after
stopping it. The exhaust pipe of this machine
reaches high temperatures during operation of the
engine and maintains these high temperatures for a
few minutes after stopping it.
Do not leave the machine running unattended. If you
have to leave the machine unattended, turn off motor,
wait for the cutter to stop and unplug the wire from
the spark plug.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children.

other dangerous chemical substances. In case of gas
concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the
correct flow of air and do not work in this area again
until it is well ventilated and the gas concentration
does not happen again.
