emergency. To avoid damage, do not
throw the power tool to the ground when
practicing.
Clear scrub, cuttings, stones, solid
objects, etc. from the work area.
During Operation
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch/button to 0 or STOP.
Never leave a running power tool
unattended.
15 m (50 ft)
The cutting attachment may catch and
fling objects a great distance and cause
injury - therefore, do not allow any other
persons within a radius of 15 meters of
your own position. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from other objects (vehicles,
windows). Even maintaining a distance
of 15 meters or more cannot exclude the
potential danger.
Note that the blade continues to run for
a period after you let go of the throttle
trigger – flywheel effect.
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the blade stops
moving when you let go of the throttle
trigger. Check and correct the idle speed
setting at regular intervals. If the blade
FBD-KM
still rotates when the engine is idling,
have your dealer check your machine
and make proper adjustments or repairs
– see KombiEngine service manual.
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the blade.
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects,
never operate the
power tool without
the proper deflec -
tor for the type of
cutting attachment
being used.
The deflector on this bed redefiner
cannot protect the operator from all
objects thrown by the blade (stones,
glass, wire, etc.). Such objects may
ricochet and then hit the operator.
Inspect the work area:
Stones, pieces of metal
or other solid objects may
be thrown more than 15
meters and cause per -
sonal injury or damage
the cutting attachment
and property (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
To avoid the risk of elec -
tric shock, never use your
power tool in areas where
electrical lines are laid on
the surface or buried just
below the surface. Strik -
ing and damaging such
lines with the CombiTool
could cause serious or
even fatal injury.
The gearbox becomes
hot during operation. To
reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the
gearbox housing.
Take special care in slippery conditions,
on slopes or uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Special care must be taken when
working in difficult, over-grown terrain.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Do not touch the cutting blade while the
engine is running. If the blade becomes
jammed by an obstruction, switch off the
engine immediately before attempting to
remove the obstruction.
