Operating Instructions
In the event of an emergency, shut off
the engine immediately – move the
momentary stop switch to
STOP
.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Any coworkers who must be
in the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses. Stop the
engine immediately if you are
approached.
Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as operating the unit so that
the wind or operating process directs
any dust raised by the power tool away
from the operator. Follow the recom-
mendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions with respect to dust ("particulate
matter"). When the inhalation of dust
cannot be substantially controlled, i.e.,
kept at or near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using
the starting throttle position, as you do
not have control of the engine speed.
Warning!
The cutting attachment
continues to rotate for a
short period after the
throttle trigger is
released (flywheel
effect.
Warning!
The rotating cutting attachment may
fling foreign objects directly or by rico-
chet a great distance.
15m (50ft)
Warning!
Before you start work,
examine the area for
stones, glass, fence
wire, metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could
throw objects of this kind.
Warning!
This clearing saw is normally to be used
at ground level with the cutting attach-
ment parallel to the ground. Use of a
clearing saw above ground level or with
the cutting attachment perpendicular to
the ground may increase the risk of
injury, since the cutting attachment is
more fully exposed and the power tool
may be more difficult to control. Never
use your clearing saw as a hedge
trimmer.
Warning!
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment
at regular short intervals with the engine
and attachment stopped. If the behavior
of the attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the blade or head for
cracks, wear and damage.
