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
and that you understand and know how
to use the controls on the machine.
Fuel
• Petrol is highly flammable and in some
situations explosive.
• Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors or in
a well ventilated area, with the engine
switched off and at a safe distance from
sparks and naked flames. Never store fuel
where there can be naked flames, e.g.
smoking or sparks.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check after
filling that the filler cap is properly fitted.
• Avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel and fumes
from spilled fuel can easily ignite. Wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Other safety instructions
• The exhaust fumes from the engine are
very hot and the exhaust system remains
hot after the engine is switched off.
Always allow the engine and the exhaust
system to cool before putting the machine
away indoors, to reduce the risk of fire
and burns.
• Take regular breaks when working. Always
maintain a firm footing and good
balance.
• Wear approved safety shoes with non-slip
soles and comfortable fit, tight-fitting
clothes, safety glasses, ear protection,
safety helmet and vibration-damping
gloves.
• When working with the machine keep
other people away from the risk zone, i.e.
at least 15 metres away. Wear safety
glasses, ear protection, safety helmet,
safety shoes, leg guards, and if necessary
full body protection. Persons immediately
outside the risk zone should wear safety
glasses and suitable protection from flying
objects. The risk diminishes the further
you are away from the clearing saw.
• The trimmer head or blade continues to
rotate for several seconds after the motor
has been switched off. Keep at a safe
distance until all moving parts have
completely stopped.
