ORIGINAL BEDIENUNGFSANLEITUNG/ORIGINAL USER MANUAL/MANUAL D´UTILISATION ORIGINAL
• Maintain appliance with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Check damaged parts. Before using the appliance, make sure the safety
guards are intact. Never use a tool without its safety guard. Check the
alignment of the moving parts, the binding of the moving parts.
• Check for broken or defective parts that can affect the safe operation of your
tool. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service centre unless indicated elsewhere in this
manual.
• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or medication.
• Always wear heavy, long pants, boots, gloves, and a long-sleeve shirt. Do not
wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair
so it is above shoulder level.
• Inspect unit before each use. Replace damaged parts. Make sure all fasteners
are in place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked,
chipped, or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly
installed and securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is
properly attached and in the position which is recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach. Keep cutting attachment
below waist level. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting
attachment.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets. At
a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft)
radius; outside the 15 m (50 ft) zone, there is still a risk of injury from thrown
objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection.
• If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment. In the case
of bladed units, there is the added risk of injury to bystanders from being
struck with the moving blade in the event of a blade thrust.
• When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped
before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening appliance
and before the unit is set down.
