- If petrol has overflowed, do not under any
circumstances attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the equipment from the af-
fected area. Avoid starting the engine until the
petrol fumes have completely evaporated.
- For safety reasons, the petrol tank and the
tank cap must be replaced if they are dama-
ged.
•
Replace defective silencers.
•
Before using the scythe, visually inspect it to
ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the
entire cutting apparatus are in good working
order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To
prevent any imbalance, replace worn out or
damaged blades and mounting bolts as a set
only (if applicable).
Handling
(operation, storage, monitoring)
•
Wear close-fitting work clothing which is in
good condition and which offers protection,
such as long trousers, sturdy work shoes,
hard-wearing gloves, a helmet, a face mask
or goggles to protect your eyes, and good
quality cotton wool in your ears or some other
ear protectors to reduce the noise.
•
Store the equipment in a safe place. Open the
petrol tank cap slowly to release any pressure
that may have formed in the petrol tank. To
prevent the risk of fire, move at least 3 meters
from the refueling area before you start the
equipment.
•
Switch off the equipment before you put it
down.
•
Always hold the equipment firmly in both
hands. Your fingers and thumbs should be
wrapped around the handles.
•
Ensure that all screws and connecting ele-
ments are secure. Never use the equipment if
it has not been properly adjusted or has not
been fully or safely assembled.
•
Make sure that the handles are clean and dry
and that there is no petrol mixture on them.
•
Set the line spool to the required height. Avoid
touching small objects such as stones with the
line spool.

•
When carrying out mowing work on a slope
always stand at a lower level than the cutting
tool. Never cut or trim on a smooth, slippery
hill or slope.
•
Keep all parts of your body and items of
clothing away from the line spool when you
start the engine and when the engine is run-
ning. Before you start the engine ensure that
the line spool will not strike an obstacle.
•
Always switch off the engine before working
on the cutting tool.
•
Store the equipment and accessories in a safe
place protected from naked flames and heat/
spark sources such as gas geyser heaters,
tumble driers, oil stoves or portable radiators,
etc.
•
Keep the guard hood, line spool and engine
clear of mowing debris at all times.
•
Only adequately trained people and adults
may use, adjust and maintain the equipment.
•
If you are not familiar with the equipment,
practice handling it with the engine off.
•
Always check the site you want to mow be-
fore you begin your work. Solid objects such
as pieces of metal, bottles, stones, etc. can be
catapulted away and cause serious injuries
and permanent damage to the equipment. If
you touch a solid object with the equipment
by mistake, switch off the engine immediately
and check the equipment for signs of dama-
ge. Never use the equipment if it is damaged
or defective.
•
Always operate the equipment in its high
speed range for trimming and cutting. Do not
let the engine run at low speed at the start of
mowing or during trimming work.
•
Only use the equipment for the purpose for
which it is intended, such as trimming and
mowing weeds.
•
Never hold the line spool above knee height
when the equipment is in operation.
•
Do not use the equipment if other people or
animals are in the immediate vicinity. Keep a
minimum distance of 15 m between yourself
and other people or animals when mowing.
Keep a distance of 30 m if you are mowing
down to the ground.
