plies to left-handed people), with the cutting tools
lowered towards the ground.
In order to prevent damage and injury, or fuel from
•
leaking, secure the tool against tipping over when
transporting it in vehicles. Check the fuel tank for
tightness. We recommend emptying the fuel tank
before transport.
The fuel tank must be emptied before shipment.
•
Make sure that no persons or animals are close to
•
the working area (minimum distance of 15 m).
Grass being cut and thrown up may contain foreign
objects such as stones. You are responsible for the
safety in your working area, and you are liable for
damages to persons or property.
It is not permitted to either start or use the petrol
•
brush cutter in the vicinity of persons or animals.
•
Do not use the tool when you are tired or distracted,
or your ability to react is impaired when you are
under the influence of alcohol or medication.Inat-
tentiveness may cause serious injuries.
Use approved safety goggles. Use approved ear
•
protection. Use high-quality safety gloves.
Use high-quality skid-proof protective shoes with
•
safety steel caps. Never operate the tool wearing
sandals, or when barefoot.
•
Always wear an approved safety helmet for working
in a forest.
Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Wear long
•
trousers to protect your legs. Wear safety helmet
for long hair. Loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair

•
When the petrol cutting blade has been operate
for long hours, it may cause a circulatory disorder
due to vibration (Raynaud's disease). In this case,
it is impossible to specify any length of operation,
because it may differ from person to person. The
following factors can have an influence on this phe-
nomenon: Circulatory disorders in the hands of the
operator, low outdoor temperatures, long hours of
operation. Therefore, it is recommended to wear
warm protective gloves, and to take breaks at regu-
lar intervals.
•
The exhaust of internal combustion engines is poi-
sonous and can lead to suffocation, among others.
