mechanical rubbing can generate sparks
that can ignite powder or vapour.
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial
light in good visibility conditions.
• Keep people, children and animals
away from the work area. Children must
be supervised by another adult.
• Make sure that no persons are within 15
metres of the machine's range of operation
or within 30 metres for heavier cutting.
• Where possible, avoid working on
wet, slippery ground or on uneven or
steep ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground
(hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and
obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines,
ditches or embankments.
• Always work across the face of the slope
and never up and down it, being very careful
when changing direction, making sure
the cutting means is always down-line.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
Conduct
• When working, the machine must always
be held firmly in both hands, keeping the
power unit on the right of the body and the
cutting head below the line of the belt.
• Always use caution and take on a
firm and well-balanced position.
• Never run, always walk.
• Always keep the machine connected
to the harness when working.
• Always keep hands and feet away
from the cutting means, when starting
and when using the machine.
• Attention: the cutting means will continue to
rotate for a few seconds after disengagement
or after you have switched off the engine.
• Be careful of flying debris coming
from the cutting means.
• Be careful of avoiding violent collisions
between the cutting means and foreign
objects/obstacles. Kickback may occur if the
cutting means comes into contact with an
obstacle/object. This contact can cause a
rapid jerk in the opposite direction, pushing
the cutting means up and towards the
operator. Kickback can cause the operator to
lose control of the machine, leading to serious
consequences. To avoid kickbacks, take all
the appropriate precautions indicated below:
– Firmly hold the machine, with two hands,
and place your body and arms in a
position that allows you to resist kickback.
– Do not extend the arms too high and
do not cut above waist height.
– Only use the cutting means
specified by the manufacturer.
– Follow the manufacturer's instructions
concerning cutting means maintenance.
• Beware of injuries caused by devices
used to cut the line length.
• Attention: The cutting element
continues to rotate even after the
engine has been switched off.
• Do not touch the parts of the engine that
heat up during operation. Risk of burns.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the
machine with the engine hot on leaves or
dry grass or other flammable material.
If something breaks or an accident
occurs during work, turn off the engine
immediately and move the machine away
to prevent further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third parties are
injured, carry out the first aid measures
most suitable for the situation immediately
and contact the medical authorities for any
necessary health care. Carefully remove
any debris which could cause damage or
injury to persons or animals if ignored.
The noise and vibration levels shown in
these instructions are the maximum levels for
use of the machine. The use of an unbalanced
cutting element, the excessive speed of
movement, or the absence of maintenance
have a significant influence on noise
emissions and vibrations. Consequently,
it is necessary to take preventive steps to
eliminate possible damage due to high levels
of noise and stress from vibration; maintain
the machine well, wear ear protection
devices, and take breaks whilst working.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can
cause injuries and neurovascular disorders
(also called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white
finger"), especially to people suffering
from circulation disorders. The symptoms
can regard the hands, wrists and fingers
and are shown through loss of sensitivity,
torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of
or structural changes to the skin. These
effects can be worsened by low ambient
temperatures and/or by gripping the hand
grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms
occur, the length of time the machine is used
must be reduced and a doctor consulted.
