WORKING TECHNIQUES

Safety instructions regarding the

surroundings

Never allow children to use the machine.

Ensure that no--one comes closer than

50 feet (15 meters) while you are

working.

Never allow anyone else to use the ma-

chine without first ensuring that they

have understood the contents of the

operator’s manual.

Never work from a ladder, stool or any

other raised position that is not fully se-

cured.

Safety instructions while working

Always ensure you have a safe and

stable working position.

Always use both hands to hold the ma-

chine. Hold the machine at the side of

your body.

Use your right hand to control the throttle

setting.

Make sure that your hands and feet do

not come near the cutting attachment

when the engine is running.

When the engine is switched off, keep

your hands and feet away from the

cutting attachment until it has stopped

completely.

Watch out for stumps of branches that

can be thrown out during cutting.

Always lay the machine on the ground

when you are not using it.

Do not cut too close to the ground.

Stones and other objects can be thrown

out.

Check the working area for foreign

objects such as electricity cables,

insects and animals, etc, or other

objects that could damage the cutting

attachment, such as metal items.

If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations

occur stop the machine immediately.

Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

Check that the machine is not damaged.

Repair any damage.

If anything jams in the blades while you

are working, switch off the engine and

wait until it has stopped completely

before cleaning the blades. Disconnect

the wire from the spark plug.

Safety instructions after complet-

ing work

The transport guard should always be

fitted to the cutting attachment when the

machine is not in use.

Make sure the cutting attachment has

stopped before cleaning, carrying out re-

pairs or an inspection. Disconnect the

wire from the spark plug.

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when

repairing the cutting attachment. This is

extremely sharp and can easily cause

cuts.

Store the machine out of reach of chil-

dren.

Use only original spare parts for repairs.

Secure the machine during transport.
