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.
• Never attempt to clear material thicker
than 13 mm.
• Always use the harness strap when using
the machine as a clearing saw, 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 below hip
height.
• Do not work with the clearing blade more
than 75 cm above the ground.
• If the machine has a centrifugal clutch,
check at regular intervals that the blade
stops rotating when the engine is idling.
• WARNING: Watch out for the risk of
kick-back when using the machine as a
clearing saw.
• 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 the machine keep
other people away from the risk zone, i.e.
at least 15 metres away. Wear safety
glasses, ear protection, safety helmet,
safety shoes, leg guards, and if necessary
full body protection. Persons immediately
outside the risk zone should wear safety
glasses and suitable protection from flying
objects. The risk diminishes the further you
are away from the clearing saw.
• The trimmer head or blade continues to
rotate for several seconds after the motor
has been switched off. Keep at a safe
distance until all moving parts have
completely stopped.
