SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General precautions

Proper use: 

These brushhcutters are provided with the appropri-

ate and approved cutting tools for the respective applications as 
described on page 7. A brushcutter may be operated only by one 
person, and only out of doors!

Improper use:

 The use of cutting tools or blades not approved for 

this brushcutter is forbidden and may cause damage or injury!

Impermissible users:

Persons who are unfamiliar with this Instruction Manual, minors, 
and persons under the in

ß

 uence of alcohol, drugs or medication 

must not operate this tool.
 

To ensure correct operation, the user has to read this instruc-
tion manual to make himself familiar with the handling of the 
brushcutter. Insuf

Þ

 ciently informed users will risk danger to 

themselves as well as others due to improper handling (1).

-  It is recommended only to lend the brushcutter to people who 

have experience with brushcutters. When lending the brush-
cutter to someone else, give him this Instruction Manual as 
well.

-  First-time users should ask their dealer for basic instructions 

so that they can familiarize themselves with the basic handling 
of gasoline-powered brushcutting.

-   Children and persons under the age of 18 must not be allo-

wed to operate the brushcutter. Exceptions may be made for 
persons over 16 for training purposes under the supervision 
of a quali

Þ

 ed trainer.  

-  Always use brushcutters with the utmost care and attention. 
-  Operate the brushcutter only if you are in good physical con-

dition. Perform all work calmly and carefully. The user must 
accept liability for others.

-  Never use the brushcutter after consumption of alcohol, 

drugs or medication (2).

Personal protective equipment

-  The clothing worn should be functional and appropriate, i.e. 

it should be tight-

Þ

 tting but not cause hindrance. Do not wear 

either jewellery or clothing which could become entangled with 
bushes or shrubs. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.

In order to avoid head-, eye-, hand- or foot injuries as 
well as to protect your hearing, the following protective 
equipment and protective clothing must be used during 
operation of the brushcutter:

It is recommended to wear a protective helmet; it is imperative 
when working in forests. The 

protective helmet

 (1) should be 

checked at regular intervals for damage and must be replaced 
after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved  protective hel-
mets.

-  The face shield (2) of the protective helmut protects against 

ß

  ying sawdust, wood chips or stone chippings. During operation 

of the brushcutter always wear goggles or a visor to prevent 
eye injuries. 

- Wear 

adequate 

noise protection

 equipment to avoid hearing 

impairement ( ear muffs (3), ear plugs etc.). Octave brand 
analysis upon request. 

- The 

forestry safety jacket

 (4) is equipped with special red 

coloured shoulder parts. The arms and neck should always be 
protected by clothing.

- The 

protective trousers

 (5) are made from a nylon fabric with 

22 layers and protects against cuts. We strongly recommend 
its use. In any case, it is essential that a long pair of trousers 
made of tough material be worn during operation of the brus-
hcutter.

Protective gloves

 (6) made of thick leather are part of the 

prescribed equipment and must always be worn during ope-
ration of the brushcutter. 

Safety shoes

 or 

boots

 (7) 

Þ

 tted with anti-skid sole, steel toe 

caps and leg protection must always be used. Safety shoes 
equipped with a protective layer give protection against cuts 
and ensure a secure footing.
