cutting attachment.
Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the blade.
Always use sharp blades.
Avoid stones.

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.
Control the felling direction (take advantage of the wind).
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.
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.
!
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.
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.
!

Take great care when cutting a tree that is under tension.
A tree that is under tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position yourself
incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may
hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control.Both
situations can cause serious personal injury.
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.
