according to the instruction manual and taking into
account working conditions and working area. The use
of this machine for jobs different to those specified
in the instruction manual can cause dangerous
situations.

order at all times.

accidents caused to other people or things. The
manufacturer will not be liable for damages caused

correct usage. If used correctly the machine will do
the desired job.
Look after the machine. Check that all moving parts
are well aligned and that they are not blocked, that
there are no broken pieces or other conditions that
could affect the proper functioning of the machine.
If this machine is damaged, always repair it before
using it again. Most accidents occur because of poor
maintenance.
Maintain the cutting elements sharp and clean. The
cutting elements if sharp and clean will cut better, do
a better job, have less chance of getting tangled and
easier to control.
