Never work from a ladder, stool or any other raised
position that is not fully secured.
Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position.
Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the
machine at the side of your body.
Use your right hand to control the throttle setting.
Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near
the cutting attachment when the engine is running.
When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and
feet away from the cutting attachment until it has
stopped completely.
Always lay the machine on the ground when you are
not using it.
Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown
out during cutting.
You should also pay attention to the fact that falling
branches can bounce in the direction of the user after
hitting the ground.
Check the working area for foreign objects such as
electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other
objects that could damage the cutting attachment,
such as metal items.
