The attachment of the handle.
•
It is incumbent on the user to assess any
risks. Make an assessment of the strain
involved on the basis of the type of work
and the use of the machine, and plan
suitable pauses. This can significantly
reduce the strain during the time you are
working. Minimise the risks you are
exposed to from vibrations. Maintain the
machine in accordance with these
instructions.
•
If the machine is used often and/or for
long sessions, you should fit it with a
vibration-damping handle.
•
Do not use the machine in ambient
temperatures less than 10°C. Establish a
work plan that contributes to limiting
exposure to vibrations.
Using the trimmer head
•
Replace the trimmer head if it is cracked, or
otherwise damaged. Carefully check that
you have fitted the new trimmer head
correctly. An incorrectly fitted or
inadequately tightened trimmer head can
result in serious personal injury.
•
Check that all the guards and handles are
correctly and firmly fitted.
•
Only use trimmer lines and accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
•
The use of accessories not recommended
by the manufacturer can result in serious
personal injury.
•
Do not use the machine unless the guard is
fitted and in good condition.
•
Keep a firm grip on the machine with both
hands when in use. Keep the trimmer head
below hip height. Do not work with the
trimmer head more than 75 cm above the
ground.
Using the clearing blade
WARNING!
Watch out for the risk of kick-back when using
the machine as a brush cutter.
•
Do not use the brush cutter unless the
guard is fitted correctly and is in good
condition.
•
Wear heavy-duty gloves when using the
machine as a brush cutter and when fitting
or removing the clearing blade.
•
When fitting or removing the clearing
blade, and when removing foreign objects
that have fastened or are blocking the
clearing blade, always switch off the engine
and remove the spark plug lead from the
plug.
•
Never attempt to touch the clearing blade
when it is rotating.
•
The clearing blade continues to rotate after
the engine is switched off and when the
throttle is released. Remain standing in a
normal working position with a firm grip on
the handles until the clearing blade has
completely stopped.
•
Always check after use that the clearing
blade is undamaged and is correctly and
firmly fitted. Replace the clearing blade if it
is damaged. A damaged or incorrectly
fitted clearing blade can result in serious
personal injury.
•
Only use clearing blades recommended by
the manufacturer and intended for brush
cutters. Non-recommended clearing blades
can result in serious personal injury.
•
When used as a brush cutter with a clearing
blade the machine is intended to be used
for thick weeds, high and wet grass, and
brushwood with a diameter of up to 13
mm. Never use the machine for purposes
other than those specified.
•

machine with the clearing blade fitted. If the
rotating clearing blade hits an object it cannot
cut through or throw up this obstructs the
rotation of the blade causing the blade and
the whole brush cutter to kick back from the
