Check the area around you for possible

• Do not cut above chest height, as a brush
cutter held higher is difficult to control against
kickout forces.
• Do not work near electrical wires. Leave this
operation for professionals.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
• Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely
dangerous.
• Stop the brush cutter if the blade strikes a
foreign object. Inspect the blade and brush
cutter; repair parts as necessary.
• Keep the blade out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a blade
and increase the possibility of kickout.
• Stop the engine before setting the brush
cutter down.
• Be particularly cautious and alert while
wearing hearing protection because such
equipment may restrict your ability to hear
sounds indicating danger (calls, signals,
warnings, etc).
• Be extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING: Never use rigid blades when
cutting in stony areas. Thrown objects or
damaged blades may result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or bystanders. Watch
out for thrown objects. Always wear approved
eye protection. Never lean over the cutting
attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can
be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness
or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons
at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the safety
zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately
if anyone approaches. Never swing the
machine around without first checking
behind you to make sure no-one is within the
safety zone.

General Working Instructions
WARNING: This section describes the
basic safety precautions for working with
clearing saws and trimmers. If you encounter a
situation where you are uncertain how to
proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your
dealer or your service workshop. Avoid all
usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability. You must understand the difference
between forestry clearing, grass clearing and
grass trimming before use.
Basic safety rules
1. Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things
cannot affect your control of the machine.
• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not
come into contact with the cutting attachment
or loose objects that are thrown out by the
cutting attachment.
WARNING: Do not use the machine unless
you are able to call for help in the event of an
accident.
2. Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold,
etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often
brings added risks, such as icy ground, etc.
3. Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check
the area around you for possible obstacles
(roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you
have to move suddenly. Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
4. Switch off the engine before moving to another
area.
5. Never put the machine down with the engine
running.
• Always use the correct equipment.
• Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.
• Organise your work carefully.
• Always use full throttle when starting to cut with
the blade.
• Always use sharp blades.
WARNING: Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
