5. General safety instructions
Get to know your machine
• Read and understand the operating manual and the
signs attached to the machine. Learn the mode of
operation and the operating limits as well as its spe-
cific sources of danger.
• Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the controls and
their proper function.
• Learn how to stop the machine and quickly disen-
gage the controls.
• Be sure to read and understand all instructions and
safety precautions as described in the engine man-
ufacturer's manual that is supplied separately with
your machine.
• Do not attempt to operate the machine until you fully
understand how to properly operate and maintain
the engine and how to avoid injury and/or proper-
ty damage.
Working range
• Never leave the machine on or running in an en-
closed space. The exhaust gases are dangerous,
they contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and
deadly gas.
• Operate this machine only in a well-ventilated out-
door area. Never operate the machine without good
visibility or light.
Personal safety
• Do not operate the machine under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication that may impair your
ability to use it properly.
• Dress properly. Wear thick, long trousers, boots and
gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, shorts or jew-
ellery of any kind. Secure long hair so that it is at
shoulder height at most.
Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Use personal safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment, such as dust
masks, safety helmets or hearing protection for
the relevant operating conditions reduce the risk
of injury.
• Check your machine before you start it. Ensure that
protective devices are correctly fitted and in working
order. Make sure that all nuts, bolts, etc. are tight.
• Never use the machine if it is in need of repair or in
poor technical condition. Replace damaged, miss-
ing or defective parts before use.
• Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine in a safe
operating condition.
• Safety devices must never be removed or manip-
ulated. Check regularly that they are functioning
properly.
• Do not use the machine if the engine switch does
not turn it on or off. All petrol-driven machines that
cannot be operated with the engine switch are dan-
gerous and must be replaced.
• Get into the habit of checking that screwdrivers and
tools have been removed from the machine area
before starting. A screwdriver or tool that is on a
rotating part of the machine can cause injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense while using the machine.
• Do not lean over it. Do not operate the machine
barefoot or with sandals or similar light footwear.
Wear safety shoes that protect your feet and im-
prove your grip on slippery surfaces.
• Ensure safe footing and balance at all times. This
allows better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
• Prevent unintentional start-up. Make sure that the
engine is switched off before transporting the ma-
chine or carrying out maintenance or repair work
on the machine. Transporting or performing mainte-
nance or repair work on a machine with the engine
running always poses a risk of accidents.
