Safety measures for handling the cutting blade
1. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS and instructions for
operating and fitting the cutting blade.

not able to cut through them or mow them. This
can result in injuries to arms and legs. Make sure

vice comes into contact with foreign bodies then stop
the motor immediately and bring the cutting blade to
a standstill. Check the blade for damage. Always re-
place the blade if bent or torn.

OBJECTS WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE. This
can cause blindness or injuries. Wear eye, face and
leg protection. Always remove objects from the wor-
king area before you insert the cutting blade. Make
sure that bystanders and animals remain at least 15
m away from you in all directions.
4. Check your device and attachments carefully for
damage before each use. Do not use the device if
the cutting blade attachments have not all been pro-
perly installed.
