Always keep hand and feet away from the
cutting device, above all when switching on
the motor.
■
Wait for the cutting device to come to a
standstill after the motor has been switched
off.
■
Only remove cuttings when the motor and
cutting device are at a standstill.
■
Because of danger of cutting injuries, do not
touch the line cutter with unprotected hands.
■
After pulling out a new line, always bring the
appliance into its normal working position be-
fore switching it on.
■
Do not use a metallic cutting line.
■
Always keep the guard plate, spool head and
motor clear of mowing residues.

People who are not familiar with the appli-
ance should practice handling it while the

■
Never work on a smooth and slippery

down or up.
■
Always stand below the cutting device.
■
After contact with a foreign object:

3.7.2

Vibration load

WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual existing vibration emission
value when using the device may differ
from the value specified in the operating
instructions or the value specified by the
manufacturer. This can be caused by the
following factors that must be observed
before every use or during use:
■
Is the device being used as inten-
ded?
■
Is the material being cut or pro-
cessed in the proper manner?
■
Is the device in a proper condition of
use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened
or is the correct cutting tool installed?
■
Are the handle grips and any optional
vibration grips mounted, and are they
firmly attached to the device?
Countermeasures
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or dis-
colouration of the skin on your hands when
using the device, stop work immediately.
Take sufficient work breaks. Without suffi-
cient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome
can occur.
■
The load factor (which depends on the work
performed or the use of the device) should be
assessed and appropriate breaks taken. This
significantly decreases the load factor
throughout the whole working period.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the appliance according to the
instructions in the operating instructions.
