Precautions to Prevent Recoil
12. The greatest care is required when extending the cutting thread. Risk of injury from cuts. After
executing these processes, reassume the correct working position before switching on the
equipment.
13. Do not use metallic cutting reels or saw blades. Note that the equipment remains in operation
for a few seconds after the switch is released.
14. Switch off the engine when:
- Refuelling the equipment,
- Not using it,
- Leaving it unattended,
- Cleaning it,
- Transporting it from one location to another,
- Removing or replacing the cutting device and manually adjusting the length of the
cutting thread.
When the metal cutting blade is used, there is a risk of recoil if the blade edge hits an obstacle
(stone, wood).
• Hold the equipment firmly in both hands.
• Ensure that there are no obstacles on the ground and do not use the metal cutting disk near
fences, metal posts or similar.

In case of recoil, the user receives a powerful jolt from the motorized
strimmer. This may result in loss of control of the equipment and in
serious injury. Recoil can be avoided by care and correct technique.
