all directions. There is a risk of injury to the operator and
bystanders.
The risk increases in areas where it is not easy to see
the material that should be cut.
Do not cut with the area of the blade that is shown in
grey in the illustration. The speed and movement of the
blade can cause blade thrust. The risk increases with
the thickness of the stem that is cut.
General work instructions
WARNING: Be careful when you cut a tree
that is in tension. It can spring back to its
normal position before or after the cut and
hit you or the product, and cause injury.
• Clear an open space at one end of the work area,
and start the work from there.
• Move in a regular pattern across the work area.
• Move the product fully to the left and right, to clear a
width of 4–5 m on each turn.
• Clear a length of 75 m before you turn and go back.
• Move in a direction where you do not go across
ditches and obstacles more than necessary.
• Move in a direction where the wind makes the cut
vegetation fall in the cleared area.
• Move along slopes, not up and down.
