RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING DANGER
All trimmers and brush cutter models may throw small
stones, metal or other small objects as well as cut-off
matter. Therefore you should read these 'Rules for
Safe Operation' carefully. Follow the instructions in
your Operating Instructions.
Read the Operating Instructions carefully. Familiar-
ize with the control elements and proper use of the
unit. Learn how to stop the unit and shut off the en-
gine. Learn how to unhook a harnessed unit quickly.
Never permit other persons to use the unit unless they
have been properly instructed. Make sure the operator
wears proper foot, leg, eye, face and hearing protec-
tion. Do not rely on the unit's protection cover to protect
your eyes from ricocheting or thrown objects. Keep the
working area clear of bystanders, children and pets.
Never allow children to operate or play with the unit. Do
not allow anyone to enter the DANGER ZONE when
operating the unit. The danger zone is an area of 15
meters in radius (about 16 steps) or 50 feet around
the operator.
Insist that persons within the RISK ZONE beyond the
DANGER ZONE wear safety goggles to protect their
eyes from thrown objects. If the unit must be used in
areas where there are unprotected people, operate it
at a low speed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The device may only be operated with the stop switch
being in proper condition.
As a routine procedure check that the cutting tool stops
turning when the engine idles.
WARNING DANGER
In addition to head, eye, face and ear protectors, shoes
to protect your feet improve your footing on slippery
surfaces. Do not wear ties, jewellery, or loose, dan-
gling clothing that might get caught in the unit. Do
not wear open-toed footwear, or go barefooted or
barelegged. Under certain circumstances, you must
wear full face and head protection. Pay attention to
kickback and strokes of the device.
NO PERSON EXCEPT THE OPERATOR IS AL-
LOWED WITHIN THE DANGER ZONE, I.E., IN A RA-
DIUS OF 15 METERS AROUND THE OPERATOR.
