•
Do not use the scythe if you are ill or tired or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Use the equipment only when the guard hood
is fitted and in good working order.
•
Any modifications to the product may place
your personal safety at risk and cause the
manufacturer's warranty to be voided.
•
Never use the equipment near inflammable li-
quids or gases, neither in enclosed rooms nor
outdoors. Explosions and/or fire may result.
•
Do not use any other cutting tools. For your
own safety you must use only the accessories
and attachments which are listed in the ope-
rating instructions or which are recommended
or specified by the manufacturer. The use of
cutting tools or accessories other than those
recommended in the operating instructions
or catalog may place your personal safety at
risk.

Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Always ensure that you have safe footing
while using the equipment, particularly if you
are using a platform or ladder.
Safety precautions for handling the blade
•
Take not of all warnings and instructions rela-
ting to operating and fitting the blade.
•
The blade can recoil suddenly from objects if
it cannot cut or mow through them. This can
cause injuries to the arms or legs. Keep by-
standers and animals at least 15 meters away
from where you are working. If the equip-
ment strikes a foreign body, stop the engine
immediately and wait for the blade to come
to a standstill. Check the blade for signs of
damage. Always replace the blade if it is bent
or cracked.
•
The blade is liable to catapult away objects
with high force. This can cause blindness or
injuries. Wear protection on your eyes, face
and legs. Always remove objects from your
working area before you use the blade.
•
Carefully check your machine and its fittings
for signs of damage every time before use.
Do not use the equipment unless all the blade
fittings are installed correctly.
•
When you release the throttle lever, the blade
will continue to rotate and will only gradually
come to a standstill. A blade which is in the
process of rotating to a standstill can cause
you or bystanders injuries through cutting.
Before you start any work on the blade, switch
off the engine and ensure that the blade has
come to a standstill.

Special safety instructions for chainsaws
•
When the chainsaw is running, make sure
that you keep all parts of your body away from
the chain. Before you start up the saw, make
sure that the chain is not touching anything.
When you are working with a chainsaw, a sin-
gle moment of carelessness is all it takes for
clothing or parts of your body to get caught
on the chain.
•
Do not use the chainsaw while up a tree un-
less you are specially trained to do this. You
risk injuring yourself if you use the chainsaw
incorrectly while up a tree.
•
When cutting through a branch which is under
tension, expect it to recoil. When the tension
in the wood fibers is released, the cut branch
may hit you and/or wrench the chainsaw out
of your control.
•
Carry the chainsaw with the chain stationary
and the chain bar facing backwards. Always
fit the safety guard when transporting the
chainsaw or putting it into storage. Careful
handling of the chainsaw reduces the like-
lihood of accidental contact with the chain
while it is running.
•
Follow the instructions for lubrication, ten-
sioning the chain tension and replacing
accessories. A chain which is not properly
tensioned or lubricated can break or increase
the risk of kickback.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Greasy or oily handles are slip-
pery and will result in loss of control.
•
Saw only wood. The chainsaw must be used
only to perform the work for which it is inten-
ded. For example: Never use the chainsaw
to cut plastic, brickwork, or building materials
which are not made of wood. Use of the
chainsaw to perform any work other than that
for which it is intended can create dangerous
situations.
•
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
your fingers and thumbs wrapped around the
handles. Steady yourself with your body and
arms in a position in which you can control
the kickback forces. With the right precau-
tions, an operator can control the kickback
forces. Never let go of the chain saw.
•
Always use the replacement chain bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer. Using
