◾
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection.
Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from
contact with the moving cutters or lines.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of
injury from thrown objects.
◾
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
◾
Always use two hands when operating the
machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will
avoid loss of control.
◾
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting line or blades
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the machine “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
◾
Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the machine.
◾
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes.
This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
◾
When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction.
This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter,
line or blade when the machine is operating.
Before you start the machine, make sure the cutter,
line or blade is not contacting anything.
A moment
of inattention while operating the machine may result
in injury to yourself or others.
◾
Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade
contact and enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
◾
When cutting brush or saplings that are under
tension, be alert for spring back.
When the tension
in the wood fibres is released, the brush or sapling
may strike the operator and/or throw the machine out
of control.
◾
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings.
The slender material may catch the blade
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
◾
Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are still in motion. T
his
reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
◾
Carry the machine with the machine switched
off and away from your body.
Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
◾
Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads
and blades specified by the manufacturer
. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage
and injury.
◾
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the
battery pack is removed.
Unexpected starting of the
machine while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
◾
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened cutter securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the blade or result in it becoming
detached.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from
contact with the moving cutters or lines.
