GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed
for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or
forestry clearing.
The only accessories you can operate with
this engine unit are the cutting attachments we
recommend in the section on Technical data.
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medi-
cation that could affect your vision, your judge-
ment or your co- -ordination.
Never use the machine in extreme weather
conditions such as severe cold, very hot and/
or humid climates.
Wear personal protective equipment. See in-
structions under the heading Personal protec-
tive equipment.
Never use a machine that has been modified
in any way from its original specification.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out
the checks, maintenance and service instruc-
tions described in this manual. Some mainte-
nance and service measures must be carried
out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
All covers and guards must be fitted before
starting. Make sure the spark plug cap and
lead are not damaged. Otherwise you could
get an electric shock.
The machine operator must ensure that no
people or animals come closer than 15 metres
while working. When several operators are
working in the same area, the safety distance
should be at least 15 metres.
WARNING:
This machine pro-
duces an electromagnetic field
during operation. Under some cir-
cumstances, this field may interfere
with active or passive medical
implants. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, we recom-
mend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician
and the medical implant manufac-
turer before operating this machine.
WARNING:
Using an incorrect
cutting attachment or an incorrectly
filed blade can increase the risk of
accidents.

WARNING:
Never allow children
to use or be in the vicinity of the
machine. As the machine is equipped
with a spring- - loaded stop switch and
can be started by low speed and
force on the starter handle, even
small children under some circum-
stances can produce the force neces-
sary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal inju-
ry. Therefore remove the spark plug
cap when the machine is not under
close supervision.

Personal protective equipment

IMPORTANT! A clearing saw, brushcutter
or trimmer can be dangerous if used incor-
rectly or carelessly, and can cause serious
or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is
extremely important that you read and un-
derstand the contents of this operator's
manual. You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
WARNING:
Listen out for warn-
ing signals or shouts when you are
wearing hearing protection. Always
remove your hearing protection as
soon as the engine stops.
HELMET
A helmet should be worn if the brush being
cleared is taller than 2 metres.

HEARING PROTECTION

Wear hearing protection that provides
adequate noise reduction.

EYE PROTECTION

Always wear approved eye protection. If
you use a visor then you must also wear
approved protective goggles. Approved
protective goggles must comply with EN
166 in EU countries.
