mask and ear protection when using the
machine.
• Do not rely on the guard to provide
adequate protection from objects thrown
up directly from the blade,
• or bouncing back from walls, etc. Keep
unauthorised persons, especially children,
and pets away from the workplace. When
working with the machine you are in the
centre of a risk zone with a radius of 15
metres. No persons must enter this risk
zone. Persons immediately outside the
risk zone should wear safety glasses and
suitable protection from flying objects. If
you need to use the machine in areas
where there are persons without safety
equipment, work with reduced throttle to
reduce the risk of thrown up objects
causing personal injury.
• Check the ignition switch before use –
allow the engine to idle, put the switch in
the stop position and check that the
engine switches off. Do not use the
machine if the engine does not switch off.
Check at regular intervals that the blade
or trimmer head stops when the engine is
idling.
• When working on slippery surfaces wear
safety shoes with non-slip soles in
addition to safety glasses, face guard, ear
protection and a safety helmet. Do not
wear jewellery, loose-fitting clothes, ties
or scarves, or other loose garments that
can fasten and be pulled into the
machine. Do not wear open shoes or
sandals, and do not work barefoot or with
bare legs. In some situations it is
necessary to wear a full-face mask. Watch
out for the risk of kick-back.
