IMPORTANT!
The machine is only designed for trimming grass.
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.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.
Never use a machine that has been modified in any way
from its original specification.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks,
maintenance and service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
All covers, guards and handles must be fitted before
starting. Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead
are undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock.
The machine operator must ensure that no people or
animals come closer than 15 metres while working. When
several operators are working in the same area the safety
distance should be at least twice the tree height and no
less than 15 metres.
W ARNING! The ignition system of this
!
machine produces an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field may under
some circumstances interfere with
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, we recommend persons with
pacemakers to consult their physician and
the pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this machine.
W ARNING! Running an engine in a confined
!
or badly ventilated area can result in death
due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning.
W ARNING! Never allow children to use or
!
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
stop switch and can be started by low
speed and force on the starter handle, even
small children under some circumstances
can produce the force necessary to start
the machine. This can mean a risk of
serious personal injury. Therefore remove
the spark plug cap when the machine is not
under close supervision.
