Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine is
running or the cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury.
!
•
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.
Stop the engine and cutting equipment
before you remove material that has wound
around the blade shaft as otherwise there is
a risk of injury.The bevel gear can get hot
during use and may remain so for a while
afterwards.You could get burnt if you touch
it.

CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to
call for help in the event of an accident.

Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects, such
as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string, etc. that
could be thrown out or become wrapped around the
cutting attachment.

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.
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection. Never
lean over the cutting attachment guard.
Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into
the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
!
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.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the machine
around without first checking behind you to
make sure no-one is within the safety zone.
Basic working techniques
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.

Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.
