Special safety instructions when
using the clearing blade
•
When you have switched off the engine,
stop the rotating clearing blade by holding
it against thick weeds or wet stalks.
•
Do not use the clearing saw 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 clearing
saws. Non-recommended clearing blades
can result in serious personal injury.
•
When used as a clearing saw with a
clearing blade the machine is intended to
40
be used for thick weeds, high and wet
grass, and brushwood with a diameter of
up to 13 mm. Never use the machine for
any other purposes.
•
Always be very careful when using the
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 clearing saw to
kick back from the object. Kick-back can be
very sudden and without warning when
the blade encounters an obstacle or jams,
and it can be so powerful that you could
loose control of the clearing saw. There is a
greater risk of kick-back when working in
situations where it is difficult to see exactly
what the material contains. It is easier and
safer to work from left to right. Kick-back
resulting from the blade hitting an obstacle
will be not be as severe.
•
Never attempt to clear material thicker
than 13 mm.
•
Always use the harness strap when using
the machine as a clearing saw, and adjust
it so that it fits firmly and comfortably.
Hold the machine with both hands in a
firm grip when using it. Keep your hands
and the rest of your body away from the
clearing blade and always keep the blade
below hip height.
•
Do not work with the clearing blade more
than 75 cm above the ground.
•
If the machine has a centrifugal clutch,
check at regular intervals that the blade
stops rotating when the engine is idling.
•
WARNING: Watch out for the risk of
kick-back when using the machine as a
clearing saw.
•
Pay attention to the risk of fire and ensure
there is good ventilation – keep the
engine at least 1 metre from other
equipment, buildings and installations
when working. Do not place any
flammable objects near the engine.
•
Keep unauthorised persons, especially
children, and pets away from the
workplace.
•
Make sure that in risk or emergency
situations you can quickly stop the engine
