SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General safety precautions IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or forestry clearing. The only accessories you can operate with this engine unit are the cutting attachments we recommend in the chapter on Technical data. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.
• Use a grass cutter or grass blade for clearing grass. • Use a trimmer head or plastic blades for lighter clearing work, for example along verges or around trees. WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment.
