English
Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
Swing the bike handle to the normal
–
operating position and tighten it
down firmly with the rotary knob.
See chapter on "Adjusting the
Handlebar" in the MultiEngine
instruction manual.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate your power tool if it is damaged
or not properly assembled.
Check correct position of gearbox and
adjust if necessary. This helps reduce
the risk of injury from the MultiTool
rotating in the wrong direction.
See also notes on "Mounting the
MultiTool".
If you use metal tools, position the
gearbox so that the axle is below the
drive shaft.

Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Right handle on control handle, left hand
on left handle.
During Operation
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)
To reduce the risk of injury from contact
with the tool and thrown objects, do not
allow any other persons within a radius
of 5 meters of your own position. To
reduce the risk of damage to property,
also maintain this distance from other
objects (vehicles, windows).
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 regularly. If the
attachment still rotates when the engine
is idling, have your dealer check your
machine and make proper adjustments
or repairs – see MultiEngine instruction
manual.
The gearbox becomes
hot during operation. To
reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the
gearbox 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.
