WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown
terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such
as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear
away scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground.
Operate the power tool only at a normal
walking pace.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury from contact
with the rotating attachment, be
extremely cautious when pulling the
power tool toward you.
Be extremely cautious when changing
direction with the power tool – especially
on slopes.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on steep slopes.
Working Conditions
Start and operate your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
If the soil being worked on or the
surrounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
MF-MM
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompany the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause sus -
ceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic
reaction. Substantial or
repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne
contaminants, in particu -
lar those with a smaller
particle size, may cause
respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at
the source where possi -
ble. Use good work
practices, such as oper -
ating the unit so that the
wind or operating pro -
cess directs any dust
raised by the power tool
away from the operator.
Follow the recommenda -
tions of EPA / OSHA /
NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations
with respect to dust ("par -
ticulate matter"). When
the inhalation of dust can -
not be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (back -
ground) level, the
operator and any
bystanders should wear a
respirator approved by
NIOSH / MSHA for the
type of dust encountered.
DANGER
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, ensure
that there are no power
cables near the surface
or in the working area
that could come into con -
tact with the MultiTool.
Damaging such cables
with the tool can cause
electric shocks with seri -
ous or fatal
consequences.
Information on the routing of cables can
be obtained from public utilities and such
service providers as "Miss Utility" or
"One Call."
WARNING
Use the power tool at ground level only.
The risk of injury is increased if you use
MultiTools above ground level because
they are more exposed and the power
tool is more difficult to control.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
