General working instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This section covers basic safety precautions for
working with brushcutters and trimmers.
• If you encounter a situation where you are
uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
expert. Contact your dealer or your service
workshop.
• Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond
your capability.
• You must understand the difference between
clearing, brush cutting and grass trimming before
using the machine.

Basic safety precautions

1. Observe your surroundings:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
your control of the machine.
• To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into
contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be
thrown by the cutting equipment.
• NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of
calling for help in the event of an accident.
2. Avoid usage in
unfavourable weather
conditions. For example,
thick fog, heavy rain,
strong winds or extreme
cold, etc. To work in bad
weather conditions is
tiring and can create
dangerous circumstances,
e.g. slippery surfaces,
affect a tree's direction of
fall, etc.
3. Make sure you can walk
and stand safely. Look out
for any obstacles with
unexpected movement
(roots, stones, branches,
pits, ditches, etc.). Take
great care when working
on sloping ground.
4. The engine should be switched off before moving. When
moving over longer distances and transporting the transport
guard should be used.
5. Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have good sight of it
