1• YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS
USER RESPONSIBILITY
BEFORE USING YOUR BRUSH-CUTTER
• Before using your brush-cutter, make sure that you are completely
familiar with the controls and operating instructions so that you are
able to stop the machine quickly.
• Always clear the lawn of toys, stones, pieces of wood or metal, wire,
bones, plastic, branches and other debris liable to be thrown out by
the brush-cutter. Low branches liable to cause injury to the user
should also be removed.
• Before using the machine, ensure that the cutting blade is in good
condition and tight and that the handlebar is locked.
• Loose clothing and short trousers should not be worn when using
the brush-cutter.
• Always wear stout and closed shoes. Never use the brush-cutter
barefoot or wearing sandals.
• Wear ear defenders.
YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS

brush-cutter must not be allowed to use the machine.
• Never let a person who has not read the instruction booklet take
charge of the brush-cutter.

WARNING :
Prolonged exposure to noise can be dangerous to
health. The symptoms are progressive: tinnitus, temporary hearing
loss, then progressive deafness. Use personal protection against
noise. Limit the intensity and duration of exposure. Avoid mowing
close to other sources of sound. Allow for rest periods.
•
WARNING :
Excessive exposure to vibration can affect the cir-
culation or the nervous system. The symptoms appear mainly in the
fingers, the hands or the wrists. These symptoms may include loss
of sensation, pain, muscle weakness, change in colour of the skin,
disagreeable tingling... Consult a doctor in case of appearance of
symptoms that may be triggered by vibrations.
• Never drive your brush-cutter too close to embankments or ditches,
on soft ground, or where there is a risk of overturning.
• Never operate the machine when feeling tired or unwell.
• Never operate the machine after consuming alcohol or taking medi-
cine.
• The user is responsible for ensuring the safety of others within the
area where the brush-cutter is being used.
• Keep third parties out of the way whilst mowing to avoid injury to
others caused by flying stones and other objects.

The user is responsible for ensuring the safety of others within
the area where the
brush-cutter
is being used.
Do not start the
machine if there are any around you.
• Never remove warning labels or safety instructions.
• The machine must be equipped with its safety flaps.
• Before changing the cutting height adjustment, stop the engine or
the blade rotation.
• Never place hands or feet under the cutter housing.
• Keep your hands and your legs clear of rotating or moving parts.
Always keep clear of the ejection opening.
• The hydraulic transmission of your brush-cutter uses pressurized
oil. Never start the brush-cutter without the hydraulic transmission
cowling: pressurized hydraulic fluid that could escape could have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries in
which case medical help would be needed right away.
• Protect the face and the eyes when mowing under trees.
• Avoid obstacles such as mole hills, concrete pedestals, tree stumps
and edging, which cannot be cut by the blade and which could
damage the cutting mechanism specially the blade.
• After striking a foreign object or if the machine starts to vibrate
abnormally stop the motor, disconnect the spark plug cover and ins-
pect the brush-cutter for any damage. Have any repairs made before
restarting and using the brush-cutter.
• The blade must be changed after any shock.
• Operate the brush-cutter only in broad daylight or with good artifi-
cial lighting.
• Do not mow during thunderstorms.
• Whenever possible, do not mow wet grass.
• Respect the minimum safety distance given by the handlebars.
• When using the brush-cutter on slopes, it is necessary to be particu-
larly careful and to exercise a great deal of caution when changing
direction.
Never mow up or down the slope, always mow across.
• It should not be used on slopes that are too steep (max. 20°).
