Operation
Since you have performed all the preparations, the brushcutter
can now be put into operation.
The brushcutter is not allowed to be star-
ted until it has been completely assem-
bled (see chapter "Preparations") and a
functional test has been carried out!
Observe the accident prevention regulations!
For all work performed with the brushcutter:
Wear protective gloves!
Wear safety shoes!
Wear a helmet as well as face, eye and hearing
protection!
Never work alone. In case of emergencies,
another person must be within shouting
distance. Before beginning to work, in-
form the other person about the protective
devices available on the machine!
The cutting tool must be equipped with the
appropriate cutter guard. Never operate the
machine without the cutter guard.
In the case of noticeable changes in the behavior
of the machine, turn off the engine immediate-
ly.
If the cutting tool comes into contact with stones
or other hard objects, turn off the engine imme-
diately and check the cutting tool.
