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, unpredictable felling direction,
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

cut with the blade.
• Always use sharp blades.
• Avoid stones.
WARNING: Neither the operator of
the machine nor anyone else may
attempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the
cutting equipment is rotating, as
this can result in serious injury.
Stop the engine and cutting
equipment before you remove
material that has wound around
the blade shaft as otherwise there
is a risk of injury. The bevel gear
can get hot during use and may
remain so for a while afterwards.
You could get burnt if you touch it.
