balance and secure footing.

Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles.
Right hand on control handle, left hand
on grip on handlebar.
While working
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch/button to 0 or STOP.
5m (16ft)
Within a wide area around the
workplace, there is a risk of accident by
ejected objects, therefore ensure that
there is no-one within a 15 m radius of
the machine. This distance must also be
maintained in relation to objects
(vehicles, window panes) – risk of
property damage! Even at a distance
over 15 m, danger cannot be ruled out.
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the attachment
stops moving when you let go of the
throttle trigger. Check and correct the
idle speed setting at regular intervals. If
the attachment still rotates when the
engine is idling, have your dealer check
your machine and make proper
adjustments or repairs – see
MultiEngine user manual.
The gear head becomes
hot during operation. To
reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the
gear housing!
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown
objects or contact with the attachment,
never operate the unit without a properly
mounted deflector designed specifically
for the unit and the attachment.
Always stand behind the deflector or to
one side of the machine during
operation – never in front of the
attachment.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp or ice on slopes or uneven
ground.
To reduce the risk of accidents or injury,
remove all obstacles and objects from
the work area.
Inspect the work area – solid objects
(stones, pieces of metal, etc.) may
damage the attachment.
To avoid the risk of elec-
trocution, never use your
power tool in areas where
electrical lines are laid on
the surface or buried just
below the surface.Strik-
ing and damaging such
lines with the attachment
could cause serious or
even fatal injury.
Operate your power tool at normal
walking pace only.
