WARNING
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause sus-
ceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic
reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of EPA / OSHA /
NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations with respect to dust
("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH /
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.

DANGER
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, ensure
that there are no power
cables near the surface
or in the working area
that could come into con-
tact with the MultiTool.
Damaging such cables
with the tool can cause
electric shocks with seri-
ous or fatal
consequences.
Information on the routing of cables can
be obtained from public utilities and such
service providers as "Miss Utility" or
"One Call."
WARNING
Use the power tool at ground level only.
The risk of injury is increased if you use
MultiTools above ground level because
they are more exposed and the power
tool is more difficult to control.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
WARNING
The MultiTool continues to rotate for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
If the MultiTool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always switch off the
engine and make sure the attachment
has stopped before cleaning. Grass,
weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the
attachment as necessary.
5m (16ft)
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
16 feet (5 m) away. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Even maintaining a
minimum distance of 5 meters cannot
exclude the potential danger. Any
coworkers who must be in the restricted
area should also wear goggles or
protective glasses. Stop the engine
immediately if you are approached.
WARNING
Before you start work, examine the area
for stones, glass, pieces of metal,
rubbish or other solid objects. Such
objects could be hurled by the cutting
tool and directly or indirectly strike the
operator or bystanders. Such objects
may also damage the MultiTool. The
