Basic working techniques
Safety instructions while working
•Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position.
•Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine on the right side of your body.
•Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.
•Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the cutting attachment when the engine is running.
•When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the cutting attachment until it has stopped completely.
•Always carry out edging at full throttle.
•Always keep the blade close to the ground.
•Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine (i.e. without the resistance that the cutting attachment exerts on the engine when you are using the machine) can lead to serious engine damage.
•Be especially careful when pulling the edger towards you during work.
•If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
