• Keep people, children and
animals away from the work
area. Children must be
supervised by another adult.
• Check that there is
nobody within 15 metres
of the machine's range
of operation or within 30
metres for heavier cutting.
• Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
• Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• 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 downstream.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.

• 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,
– Do not extend the arms
