SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Be sure to unplug the product before clearing jammed
material from the line. Do not grasp the line when
picking up or holding the product.
Be cautious after turning off the product. The line
■
coasts after turning off the product.
Do not switch the trimmer on in enclosed or poorly
■
ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable
and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gas and
powders.
Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the trimmer
■
still running.
Never fit metal cutting elements to the trimmer.
■
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BRUSHCUTTER AND
BLADE USE
Do not operate the brushcutter unless the blade
■
guard is firmly secured in place and in good condition.
Use heavy gloves while installing or removing blades.
■
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
■
rotating.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
■
spin after the unit is stopped or trigger released.
Maintain proper control until the blade has completely
stopped rotating.
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
■
make sure blade is installed correctly and securely
fastened before each use. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
Use only the manufacturer's replacement TRI-ARC
■
blade intended for use on this brushcutter. Do not use
any other blade.
The TRI-ARC blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds
■
and vines only. Do not use for any other purpose.
Never use the TRI-ARC blade to cut woody brush.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with
■
this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot
cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an
instant, and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the
object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough
to cause the operator to lose control of the unit.
Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds
being cut from the right to the left. In the event an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,
this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Never cut any material over 13 mm diameter.

Always wear the shoulder strap when using the
■
brushcutter and adjust to a comfortable operating
position. Maintain a firm grip on both handles while
cutting with a blade. Keep the blade away from body
and below waist. Never use the brushcutter with the
blade located 76 cm or more above the ground level.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY RULES
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
■
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry the product
■
by the cord. Never pull the plug out of the power point
by the cord. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
For outdoors work use only suitably approved
■
extension cables with a min. conductor cross section
of 1.5 mm
contacts and be rain-water-proof.
Inspect extension cords for deterioration, cuts or
■
cracks in the insulation. Repair or replace the cords if
any defects appear.
A nameplate on the product indicates the unit's
■
voltage. Never connect the product to an AC voltage
that differs from this voltage.
If the power cord or extension cable becomes
■
damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the
supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY.
Electrical power should be supplied via a Residual
■
Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30 mA.
