SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Basic working techniques
• Always keep the blade close to the ground.
• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.
Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels
from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to
serious engine damage.
• Be especially careful when pulling the edger towards you
during work.
• If heavy vibrations occur, stop the engine. Remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug. Check that the
machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
Safety instructions while working
• Always ensure you have a
safe and firm foothold.
• Always hold the machine
with both hands. Hold the
machine of the right-hand
side your the body.
• Make sure your hands and
feet do not come into
contact with the blade
when the engine is running.
• When the engine is
switched off, keep your
hands and feet away from
the blade until it has
stopped.
• Always cut edges at full
throttle.
WARNING!
Sometimes grass and stones can collect in
the blade guard and blade. Always stop the
engine when cleaning.
!
WARNING!
Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the blade guard.
Stones rubbish etc. can be thrown up into
the eyes resulting in blindness or other
serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be outside the safety zone of 15
meters (50 feet). Stop the machine immedi-
ately if anyone approaches.
The bevel gear unit can get hot during use
and may remain so for a while afterwards.
There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it.

Safety instructions after completing work
• Ensure the blade has
stopped before cleaning,
carrying out repairs or an
inspection. Remove the
spark plug cable from the
spark plug.
• Wear heavy-duty gloves
when carrying out repairs
on the edger.
• Store the machine out of
reach of children.
• Only use original spare
parts with repair.
