5. Do not use the equipment in the rain or
on damp grass.
6. Before use or after an impact, check
the equipment for possible damage;
repair if necessary.
7. Do not use the equipment if the safety
devices are damaged or not correctly
installed.
8. Ensure that the engine ventilation slots,
protective cover and cutting device are
always free of dirt or residues.
9. During the work processes, always en-
sure that there are neither people nor
animals within a radius of at least 15
m. Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately if anyone and particularly a child
comes into the range of the machine.
When using the equipment, stones and
other elements that can cause serious
injuries can be thrown out.
10. When the equipment is in operation,
keep away from the moving parts (in
the area of the cutting devices).
After switching off, the cutting head
continues to turn for a few seconds.
11. Before using the equipment, remove
stones, twigs and any other solid mate-
rial from the working area.
Start the machine only as described in
the instructions. It must not be turned
upside down or be in the working posi-
tion when it is started.
Do not cross gravel roads or paths with
the equipment running.
12. The greatest care is required when ex-
tending the cutting thread. Risk of injury
from cuts. After executing these process-
es, reassume the correct working posi-
tion before switching on the equipment.
13. Do not use metallic cutting reels or
saw blades. Note that the equipment
remains in operation for a few seconds
after the switch is released.
14. Switch off the engine when:
- Refuelling the equipment,
- Not using it,
- Leaving it unattended,
- Cleaning it,
- Transporting it from one location to
another,
- Removing or replacing the cutting
device and manually adjusting the
length of the cutting thread.
15. Length of use and breaks. Pro-
longed use of the power device can
lead to problems with the blood circula-
tion in the hands caused by vibrations.
You can however extend your machine
use time by wearing appropriate gloves
or by taking regular breaks. Please en-
sure that if you are susceptible to poor
circulation, low outside temperatures or
strong gripping forces while working,
this may reduce the length of time for
which you are able to work.
16. Carry the trimmer by the upper and
lower shaft tube when it is switched off,
with the cutting unit pointing away from
your body in order to avoid injuries
After the device has been switched off,
the engine head of the scythe is hot.
Make sure that you do not come into
contact with the engine head.
17. You should carry out regular checks to
determine whether the cutting equipment
is stationary when the device is idling.
18. National regulations may specify an
age restriction for the user.
