General working instructions

Basic safety rules

1 Look around you:

• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot

affect your control of the machine.

• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into

contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects

that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.

• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are

able to call for help in the event of an accident.

2 Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,

such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string,

etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped

around the cutting attachment.

3 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as

dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.

Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings

added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling

direction, etc.

4 Wear harness before operation.

5 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the

area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,

branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move

suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping

ground.

6 Keep a good balance and a ﬁrm foothold. Do not

overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times.

7 Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the

machine on the right side of your body.

8 Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating

cutting attachment.

9 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

10 Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.

11 Switch off the engine before moving to another area.

Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting

the equipment any distance.

12 Never put the machine down with the engine running

unless you have it in clear sight.

13 Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under

the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs, medication or

anything that could affect your vision, alertness,

coordination or judgement.

IMPORTANT!

This section describes the basic safety precautions for

working with brush cutters 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 forestry

clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.

WARNING! Neither the operator of the

machine nor anyone else may attempt to

remove the cut material while the engine

is running or the cutting equipment is

rotating, as this can result in serious

injury.

Stop the engine and cutting equipment

before you remove material that has

wound around the blade shaft as

otherwise there is a risk of injury. The

bevel gear can get hot during use and may

remain so for a while afterwards. You

could get burnt if you touch it.

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.

Always wear approved eye protection.

Never lean over the cutting attachment

guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown

up into the eyes causing blindness or

serious injury.

Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.

Children, animals, onlookers and helpers

should be kept outside the safety zone of

15 metres. Stop the machine immediately

if anyone approaches. Never swing the

machine around without ﬁrst checking

behind you to make sure no-one is within

the safety zone.
