GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or forestry clearing.

The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the section 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 judge- ment or your co--ordination.

Never use the machine in extreme weather conditions such as severe cold, very hot and/ or humid climates.

Wear personal protective equipment. See in- structions under the heading Personal protec- tive 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 operators are working in the same area, the safety distance should be at least 15 metres.

WARNING: Using an incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrectly filed blade can increase the risk of accidents.

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! A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer can be dangerous if used incor- rectly or carelessly, and can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is extremely important that you read and un- derstand the contents of this operator’s manual. You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right 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.

HELMET

A helmet should be worn if the brush being cleared is taller than 2 metres.

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.
