ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working
on sloping ground.

another area.
5. Never put the machine down with the
engine running.

• Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.
• Follow the safety precautions.
• Organise your work carefully.
• Always use full throttle when starting to
cut with the blade.
• Always use sharp blades.
• Avoid stones.

the machine nor anyone else may
attempt to remove the cut material
