Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a ventilated area.
Operate the cultivator under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
!
Warning!
Your cultivator produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide)
may be colorless and
odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury from inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the cultivator indoors or in
poorly ventilated locations.
!
Warning!
Use of this product can generate dust
and fumes containing chemicals known
to cause respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular dust or
fume at issue, consult your employer,
governmental agencies such as OSHA
and NIOSH and other sources on
hazardous materials. The State of
California and some other authorities,
for instance, have published lists of
substances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, etc.
Control dust and fumes at the source
where possible. In this regard use good
work practices and follow the
recommendations of OSHA/NIOSH and
occupational and trade associations.
When the inhalation of toxic dust and
fumes cannot be eliminated, the
operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust and /
or fumes encountered.
Danger!
The cultivator is not
insulated against electric
shock. Before cutting,
make sure that the area
does not contain buried electrical lines
near the surface. Striking such lines with
the cutting attachment could cause
serious or fatal injury as a result of
electrocution.
!
Warning!
Contact your local utility company or
locator service, such as "Miss Utility" or
"One Call", for information.
Attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness after starting.
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly
around the handles, keeping the
handles cradled between your thumb
and forefinger. Keep your hands in this
position to have your power tool under
control at all times. Make sure your
cultivator handles and grips are in good
condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil
or grease.
!
Warning!
Never attempt to operate any cultivator
with one hand. Loss of control of the
cultivator resulting in serious or fatal
injury may result.
