Work area safety
WARNING! You are responsible to ensure
that animals and onlookers are not within
the working area. Do not start cutting until
the working area is clear.
•
Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
•
Ensure that no one/nothing can come into contact with the
cutting equipment or be hit by parts if the blade breaks.
•
Do not install a blade on the machine until it has been
transported into the cutting area.
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
•
Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look out for any
obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure when
cutting that no material can become loose and fall,
causing injury to the operator.Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
•
Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
•
Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the working area or in the material to be cut.
•
Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated area
can result in death due to asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
