Starting And Stopping; Maintenance - Ryobi RY34007 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING:
Always hold the power head away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the attachment cutting head can result in
burns and/or other serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken when using a blade attachment
to ensure safe operation. Read the safety information for safe
operation when using a blade attachment and refer to the
safety rules and instructions in your attachment manual.
Improper operation of a blade or any attachment could
result in serious injury.
BLADE THRUST
Exercise extreme caution when using a blade attachment
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 with the brush cutter from the right to the left. In the event
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
