GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for trimming grass.

The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data.

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medi- cation that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co--ordination.

Wear personal protective equipment. See in- structions under the heading Personal protective equipment.

Never use a machine that has been modified in any way from its original specification. Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, maintenance and service instruc- tions described in this manual. Some mainte- nance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See instructions under the heading Maintenance. All covers and guards must be fitted before starting. Make sure the spark plug cap and lead are not damaged. Otherwise you could get an electric shock.

The machine operator must ensure that no people or animals come closer than 15 metres while working. When several opera- tors are working in the same area, the safety distance should be at least 15 metres.

WARNING: This machine pro- duces an electromagnetic field during operation. Under some cir- cumstances, this field may interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recom- mend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufac- turer before operating this machine.

WARNING: Never allow children to use or be in the vicinity of the machine. As the machine is equipped with a spring-loaded stop switch and can be started by low speed and force on the starter handle, even small children under some circum- stances can produce the force neces- sary to start the machine. This can mean a risk of serious personal inju- ry. Therefore remove the spark plug cap when the machine is not under close supervision.

Personal protective equipment

IMPORTANT! Whenever you use a clear- ing saw, brushcutter or trimmer you must wear personal protective equipment that is approved by the authorities. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, but it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an acci- dent. Ask your dealer for help when choosing protective equipment.

WARNING: Listen out for warn- ing signals or shouts when you are wearing hearing protection. Always remove your hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.

HEARING PROTECTION

Wear hearing protection that provides adequate noise reduction.

EYE PROTECTION

Always wear approved eye protection. If you use a visor then you must also wear approved protective goggles. Approved protective goggles must comply with EN 166 in EU countries.

GLOVES

Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when fitting cutting attachments.

BOOTS

Wear anti--slip and stable boots.
