Precautions to Prevent Recoil
In case of recoil, the user receives
a powerful jolt from the motorised
strimmer. This may result in loss
of control of the equipment and
in serious injury. Recoil can be
avoided by care and correct tech-
nique.
When the metal cutting blade is used,
there is a risk of recoil if the blade edge hits
an obstacle (stone, wood).
•
Hold the equipment firmly in both hands.
•
Ensure that there are no obstacles on
the ground and do not use the metal
cutting disk near fences, metal posts or
similar.
