object. Kick-back can be very sudden and
without warning when the blade encounters
an obstacle or jams, and it can be so powerful
that you could loose control of the brush
cutter. There is a greater risk of kick-back when
working in situations where it is difficult to see
exactly what the material contains. It is easier
and safer to work from left to right. Kick-back
resulting from the blade hitting an obstacle
will be not be as severe.
• Always use the harness strap and adjust it
so that it fits firmly and comfortably. Hold
the machine with both hands in a firm grip
when using it. Keep your hands and the rest
of your body away from the clearing blade
and always keep the blade 75 centimetres
above the ground.
• If the machine has a centrifugal clutch,
check at regular intervals that the blade
stops rotating when the engine is idling.
• Pay attention to the risk of fire and ensure
there is good ventilation – keep the engine at
least 1 metre from other equipment, buildings
and installations when working. Do not place
any flammable objects near the engine.
• Keep unauthorised persons, especially
children, and pets away from the workplace.
• Make sure that in risk or emergency
situations you can quickly stop the engine
and that you understand and know how to
use the controls on the machine.
Fuel
• Petrol is highly flammable and in some
situations explosive.
• Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors or in a
well ventilated area, with the engine
switched off and at a safe distance from
sparks and naked flames. Never store fuel
where there can be naked flames, e.g.
smoking or sparks.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check after
filling that the filler cap is properly fitted.
• Avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel and fumes
from spilled fuel can easily ignite. Wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Other safety instructions
• The exhaust fumes from the engine are
very hot and the exhaust system remains
hot after the engine is switched off. Always
allow the engine and the exhaust system to
cool before putting the machine away
indoors, to reduce the risk of fire and burns.
• Take regular breaks when working. Always
maintain a firm footing and good balance.
• Wear approved safety shoes with non-slip
soles and comfortable fit, tight-fitting clothes,
safety glasses, ear protection, safety helmet
and vibration-damping gloves.
• When working with a trimmer or brush
cutter there is always a risk that small
stones, pieces of metal, small objects and
the cleared material can be thrown up.
• Familiarise yourself with the controls on the
machine and how to use them. Check that
you can quickly switch off the engine. Check
that you can quickly open and release the
harness strap.
• Check the ignition switch before use – allow
the engine to idle, put the switch in the
stop position and check that the engine
switches off. Do not use the machine if the
engine does not switch off. Check at regular
intervals whether the blade or trimmer
head stops when the engine is idling.
WARNING!

with the machine. Always wear safety
shoes, leg guards, safety glasses, face
