During Operation
Machines without

from moving
blades or falling cuttings, do not allow
bystanders within 5 meters of your own
position. To reduce the risk of damage
to property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Machines with
telescoping shaft:
15m (50ft)

of injury from
moving blades or falling cuttings, do not
allow bystanders within 15 meters of

intervals. To reduce the risk of injury, do
not operate your power tool if the cutting
blades continue to run after switch-off.
