SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General working instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

•This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with the clearing saw and trimmer.

•If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop.

•Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.

•Before starting you must understand the difference between forestry clearing, brush cutting and grass trimming.

Basic safety precautions

1. Observe your surroundings:

•To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.

•To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be thrown by the cutting equipment.

•NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of calling for help in the event of an accident.

2. Avoid usage in unfavourable weather conditions. For example, thick fog, heavy rain, strong winds or extreme cold, etc. To work in bad weather conditions is tiring and can create dangerous situations, for example, slippery surfaces.

3.Make sure you can walk and stand safely. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement (roots, stones, branches, pits, ditches, etc.). Take great care when working on sloping ground.

4.The engine should be switched off before moving. When moving over longer distances and transporting the transport guard should be used.

5.Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have good sight of it.

Adjusting the harness and clearing saw

!WARNING!

When working with the clearing saw the harness should always be worn. If this is not done, you cannot control the clearing saw safely and this can result in injury to yourself or someone else. Never use a harness with a defective quick release catch.

Quick release

On the front is an easily accessible, quick release catch:

•Pull out the red strap.

•The hip strap and one shoulder strap will be automatically released at the same time and the harness and the engine unit will slide to the ground.

Use this if the engine should catch fire or in any other emergency situation when you quickly need to take off the harness and machine.

Equal load on shoulders

A well matched saw and harness make work much easier. Adjust the harness to give the best working stance. Adjust the side straps so that the weight is equally divided across the shoulders.

Off-loading strap The off-loading strap is intended to off-load the weight from the shaft. Adjust the length of the strap so that the cutting equipment balances just above the ground.
