SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
•
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied.Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
4
Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit
the transport guard before carrying or transporting the
equipment any distance.
The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage.
5
Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
Basic working techniques
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
inhaling fumes.
!
•
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
General working instructions
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.
!
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety precautions for
working with clearing saws and trimmers.
Grass trimming using a trimmer head and
plastic blades
If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to
proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or
your service workshop.
Trimming
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.
You must understand the difference between forestry
clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle.
It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord
work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area
to be cut.
Basic safety rules
1
•
Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
•
•
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up against
walls, fences, trees and borders, however it can also
damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes, and damage
fence posts.
•
To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
•
CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to
call for help in the event of an accident.
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
2
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
Clearing
3
Make sure you can move and stand safely.Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
•
The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation.
Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it.Let
the end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts,
statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases
the wear on the cord.
•
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal
fences, etc., than when coming into contact with trees and
wooden fences.
