2 Operational Safety
The machine is designed to protect the operator as much as possible against any flying pieces of mowed growth. Do not
remove any passive or active security features. You would expose yourself to the risk of injury.
2.1 Safety Regulations
The machine operator must be over
18 years of age
.
He is obliged
to familiarize himself with the instructions
for the machine use and to be familiar with the general principles of occupational safety.
When working with the machine, all other people (
especially children
) and animals must stay outside the
machine's work area. The operator may only continue working after they reach a safe distance.
Do not start the engine if the drive unit is not connected to any working tool! Do not remove the drive unit from
the working tool when the engine is running!
Check the correct operation of the safety switch on the left handle of the drive unit before starting your work!
Do not start the engine indoors! Proceed with caution when handling the machine. When the engine is turned OFF,
the exhaust silencer remains hot. When filling the fuel make sure that no leak occurs and you do not spill the fuel over the
engine parts. If it be to the contrary, dry the affected parts or wait until the petrol evaporates.
It is forbidden to remove any protective devices and covers from the machines.
Before any use of your machine
, always make sure that no part (especially the working mechanism or its
cover) is damaged or loose. Identified
defects
must be
immediately eliminated
. Use only original spare parts during
repairs.
Always turn the engine OFF and wait for the cutting disc to stop before you perform any activity in the vicinity of
the machine! Before leaving the machine, always turn the engine OFF!
Turn the disc pulley lever ON or OFF only when the engine is idling and the disc is not spinning.
Due to the inertia, it takes a longer time for the disc to stop and start idling than you would expect.
Never run the engine for a long period of time at a maximum speed or leave it idling for too long with a
deactivated cutting disc and travel wheel drive pulley! Parts of the drive train (V-belt, belt pulley, coupling pulley, etc.) may
get damaged!
Before using the machine, the mowed growth must be free of solid bodies (stones, wires, loose debris, etc.),
which could be ejected or could damage the machine. If they cannot be removed, avoid such spots.
The machine is fitted with a rotating tool. The maximum tip speed is
71.9 m.s
-1
. Make sure that other people are
at a safe distance when using this machine (there is a possibility of mowed growth flying or solid objects ejected)!
Due to exceeding the recommended noise and vibration values, follow these instructions when working with the
machine:
a)
Protect your hearing using suitable protection aids according to
ČSN EN 352-1
(earmuffs) or
ČSN EN 352-2
(earplugs). Request these aids from you seller.
b)
After the maximum of 20 minutes of work with the machine, take a break for at least 10 minutes. During
