GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT!

The machine is only designed for trimming grass.

The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data.

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading Personal protective 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 instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

All covers, guards and handles must be fitted before starting. Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead are undamaged to avoid the risk of 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 twice the tree height and no less than 15 metres.

 

!

WARNING! The ignition system of this

 

machine produces an electromagnetic field

 

 

during operation. This field may under

 

 

some circumstances interfere with

 

 

pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious

 

 

or fatal injury, we recommend persons with

 

 

pacemakers to consult their physician and

 

 

the pacemaker manufacturer before

 

 

operating this machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

!

WARNING! Running an engine in a confined

 

or badly ventilated area can result in death

 

due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide

 

 

 

 

poisoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

!

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 circumstances

 

 

can produce the force necessary to start

 

 

the machine. This can mean a risk of

 

 

serious personal injury. Therefore remove

 

 

the spark plug cap when the machine is not

 

 

under close supervision.

A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer can be dangerous if used incorrectly or carelessly, and can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is extremely important that you read and understand 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 warning signals

! or shouts when you are wearing hearing protection. Always remove your hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.

HELMET

A protective helmet where there is a risk of falling objects
