WORKING TECHNIQUES

This machine is not electrically insulated. If the machine touches or comes close to high-voltage power lines it could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

Safety instructions after completing work

The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.

Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

Store the machine out of reach of children.

Use only original spare parts for repairs.

Basic working techniques

Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.

Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the branches have been cut back cleanly.

Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.

Always work at full throttle.

Let the engine drop back to idle speed between each cut. Long periods at full throttle can cause serious damage to the centrifugal clutch.

WARNING! Never stand directly

! underneath a branch that is being cut. This could lead to serious or even fatal personal injury.

Observe great care when working close to overhead power lines. Falling branches can result in short- circuiting.

WARNING! Observe the applicable safety

! regulations for work in the vicinity of overhead power lines.

 

!

WARNING! This machine is not

 

electrically insulated. If the machine

 

 

touches or comes close to high-voltage

 

 

power lines it could lead to death or

 

 

serious bodily injury. Electricity can

 

 

jump from one point to another by

 

 

arcing. The higher the voltage, the

 

 

greater the distance electricity can jump.

 

 

Electricity can also travel through

 

 

branches and other objects, especially if

 

 

they are wet. Always keep a distance of

 

 

at least 10 m between the machine and

 

 

high-voltage power lines and/or any

 

 

objects that are touching them. If have to

 

 

work within this safe distance you

 

 

should always contact the relevant

 

 

power company to make sure the power

 

 

is switched off before you start work.

 

 

 

WARNING! This machine has a long

! reach. Make sure that no people or animals come closer than 15 m when the machine is running.

• Whenever possible position yourself so that you can make the cut at right angles to the branch.
