IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When using an edger, personal protective equipment approved by the appropriate authorities must be used. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing protective equipment.

Remove your hearing protection as soon as you stop the engine, so that you can hear any noises or warning signals.

GLOVES

Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when assem- bling cutting equipment.

EAR PROTECTION

Ear protection offering suffi- cient dampening effect should be used.

EYE PROTECTION Blows from branches or objects thrown by the rotating cutting equipment can damage the eyes.

BOOTS

Use anti-slip and stable boots.

lock

The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle from accidentally being en- gaged. When the trigger lock

(A)is pressed into the handle (= when you hold the handle) the throttle (B) is released.

When the grip on the handle is released the throttle and the throttle trigger lock return to their original positions. This takes place via two independ- ent return spring systems. This means that the throttle is automatically locked in the “idling” position.

2. Stop switch

The stop switch should be used to stop the engine.

3. Cutting attachment guard

to protect the operator from unintentionel contact with the cutting attachment.
