SAFETY 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.

•You must understand the difference between clearing, brush cutting and grass trimming before using the machine.

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 circumstances, e.g. slippery surfaces, affect a tree‘s direction of fall, etc.

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.Take great care when cutting a tree that is subject to tension. A tree that is under tension can spring back to its original position both before and after being cut. Incorrect positioning on your behalf or when positioning the cut can result in the tree hitting you or the machine so that you lose control. Both situations can cause serious personal injury.

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

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