Personal Protective Equipment - Husqvarna 535LS Manuel D'utilisation

• Always inspect the working area. Remove all loose
objects such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel
wire, string, etcetera, that could be thrown out or
become wrapped around the cutting attachment.
• Make sure that you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible obstacles
(roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etcetera) in case
you have to move suddenly. Take great care when
you work on sloping ground.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold at all times.
Do not overreach.
• Always hold the product with both hands. Hold the
product on the right side of your body.
• Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
• Switch off the engine before you move to another
area. Fit the transportation guard before you carry or
transport the equipment any distance.
• Never put the product down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
• Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you
remove material that has wound around the blade
shaft. Neither the operator of the product nor anyone
else may attempt to remove the cut material while
the engine is running or the cutting equipment is
rotating, as this can result in serious injury. The
bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain
so for a while afterwards. You could get burnt if you
touch it.
• Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear approved
eye protection. Never lean over the cutting
attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etcetera, can be
thrown up into the eyes which can cause blindness
or serious injury.
• Sometimes branches or grass get caught between
the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the
engine before you clean the product.
• Always slow the engine to idle speed after each
working operation. Long periods at full throttle
without any load on the engine can lead to serious
engine damage.
• Listen out for warning signals or shouts when you
wear hearing protection. Always remove your
hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.
• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people who have

impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin color or condition. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
• Do not use a product with a damaged spark plug
cap.
• Do not use a product with a defective muffler.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating
cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
• Never use a product with a faulty muffler
• Never start or use the product indoors, near
combustible material or in spaces that lacks proper
ventilation. The exhaust fumes from the engine
contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous
and highly dangerous gas. Also, the exhaust fumes
are hot and may contain sparks that can start a fire.
