-
Always wear safety shoes or boots (G) with steel toes, non-skid
soles, and leg protectors when working with the SpeediCut.
Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer provide protection
against cuts and ensure a secure footing.
-
Always wear a work suit (H) of sturdy material.
Fuels / Refuelling
-
Go to a safe, level place before refuelling. Never refuel while
on scaffolding, on heaps of material, or in similar places!
-
Switch off the engine before refuelling the SpeediCut.
-
Do not smoke or work near open fires (6).
-
Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
-
Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin
should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always
wear protective gloves when refuelling (not the regular work
gloves!). Frequently clean and change protective clothes. Do
not breathe in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapors can be
hazardous to your health.
-
Do not spill fuel. If a spill occurs, clean off the SpeediCut
immediately. Fuel should not come in contact with clothes. If your
clothes have come in contact with fuel, change them at once.
-
Ensure that no fuel is spilled into the soil (environmental
protection). Use an appropriate surface.
-
Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will
accumulate near the floor (explosion hazard).
-
Ensure to firmly tighten the screw cap of the fuel tank.
-
Before starting the engine, move to a location at least 10 feet
from where you fuelled the SpeediCut (7), but not within the
extended swing range of the cutting disc (direction of sparks).
-
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only
as much as will be consumed in the near future.
-
When making up the gasoline/oil mixture, always put the oil in the
mixing container first, and then the gasoline.
-
Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and
storage of fuel.
-
Keep fuel away from children!
Putting into operation
-
Do not work on your own. There must be someone around
in case of an emergency (within shouting distance).
-
Observe all anti-noise regulations when working in residential
areas.
-
Never use the SpeediCut near flammable materials or
explosive gases! The SpeediCut can create sparks leading
to fire or explosion!
-
Make sure that all persons within 100 feet, such as other workers,
are wearing protective gear (see “Protective Equipment”) (8).
Children and other unauthorized persons must remain more than
100 feet away from the working area. Keep an eye out for animals
as well (9).
-
Before starting work the SpeediCut must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the
prescriptions.
In particular, make sure that the cutting wheel is in good
condition (replace immediately if torn, damaged or bent), the
cutting wheel is properly mounted, the protective hood is locked
in place, the hand guard is properly mounted, the V-belt has the
proper tension, the throttle moves easily and the half-throttle
lock button functions properly, the grips are clean and dry, and
the combination switch functions properly.
-
Start the SpeediCut only after complete assembly and
inspection. Never use the SpeediCut when it is not completely
assembled.
