TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY PLEASE
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS STRICTLY:
ATTENTION!
1. Pay attention to environmental conditions that you
work in.
The engine driven machine starts producing
toxic gases after engine activation. These gases could
be invisible and without any smell. Therefore you must
never work with the machine in closed or badly
ventilated areas. Provide good illumination for your work.
If you cut in wet conditions, on snow or ice, in slopes or
in unlevelled terrain, ensure good stability.
2. Do not let foreign persons accessing to the machine.
Keep visitors and by-standers, especially children, sick
or weak persons, in a safe distance from your
workplace. Pay attention that other persons may not
touch the machine.
3. Ensure safe storage of tools. Machine that are not in
use store in a dry place at certain height if possible or
lock them so that they are not accessible to other
persons.
4. Use a proper tool for every work. Do not use e.g.
small machines or accessories for works that should in
fact be performed using heavy machines. Use machines
exclusively for purposes which they were designed for.
5. Care for suitable wear. Your clothing should be
purposeful and in may not constrain you in work.
6. Wear personal protective means. Wear safety shoes
with steel puffs and non-skid sole.
7. Wear protective glasses. Shooting up of objects by the
machine could occur.
8. Wear means for hearing protection. Wear personal
means for hearing protection like ear obturators.
9. Hand protection. Wear solid gloves – good protection is
provided by gloves made of chrome leather.
10. Transport. The garden cutter must be transported
always with the rotary wheel in transport position. When
machine is stand off pay attention that nobody could be
threatened. Secure the machine against tipping over,
damage and fuel leakage.
11. Remove wrenches etc. All wrenches etc. should be
removed before the machine is started.
12. Stay always attentive. Pay attention to what you do.
Follow your common sense when working. Do not
operate engine-driven machines when tired. Do not
operate the engine being under influence of alcohol,
drugs or medicaments that aggravate the ability to
concentrate.
13. Refilling the fuel. Before refuelling it is always
necessary to stop the engine. Open the tank cover
always carefully to allow the over-pressure ventilate
slowly to avoid squirting the fuel. When working with the
machine high temperatures are generated at the
machine body so let the machine cooled down before
refuelling otherwise fuel ignition could occur resulting in
serious burns. Be careful not to overfill the tank when
refuelling. If the fuel flows out nearby it must be removed
immediately and the machine must be cleaned. Check
firm settlement of screw cover after refuelling to avoid its
loosening due to vibrations during operation.
Behaviour in case of emergency
Provide necessary first aid treatment corresponding to the
injury nature and seek qualified medical help as soon as
possible. Protect the injured person from other injuries and
calm him/her down.
