Make sure you are in a stable and secure balanced position. The power tool is guided more securely with
both hands. Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before placing it down.
6. Make yourself familiar with your working area and be alert for possible hazards, which you might not
hear due to the motor noise.
7. Remain aware and remain cautious about foreign objects like wire fences, roots, debris... which may
damage the cutting device. Thoroughly inspect the working area where the machine is to be used and
remove all wires and any other foreign objects likely to pose a hazard.
Only work in daylight or in good artificial light.

Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construction and design:
a. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
b. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
c. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period of
time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
12. WARNING!
This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this machine.
13.
Wear hearing protection while operating the power tool.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may
be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
14. Warning: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total
value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
15. Vibrations
Prolonged used of a tool (or other machines) may expose the operator to vibrations tht may product
whitefinger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
