1. Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
2. Check the grounds on which the machine will be
used and remove all objects that could be caught
up and violently flung out.

- Only store petrol in containers designed to hold
petroleum-based liquids.

during the refueling process.
- Always refuel before starting the engine. Do not
open fuel tank cap and do not refuel when the
engine is running or when the scythe is hot.
- If petrol has overflowed, do not under any
circumstances attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the machine from the affected
area. Avoid starting the engine until the petrol
fumes have completely evaporated.
- For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other
tank closures must be replaced if they are
damaged.
4. Replace defective mufflers.
5. Before using the scythe, visually inspect it to
ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the
entire cutting apparatus are in good working
order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To prevent
any imbalance, replace worn out or damaged
blades and mounting bolts as a set only (if
applicable).
6. The powered equipment will create toxic exhaust
fumes as soon as the engine is started. Never
work in enclosed rooms or in rooms with poor
ventilation.

will provide protection, such as long slacks or
trousers, safety work shoes, heavy duty work
gloves, hard hat, a safety face shield, or safety
glasses for eye protection and a good grade of
ear plugs or other sound barriers for hearing
protection.
2. Store in a safe place. Open fuel cap slowly to
release any pressure which may have formed in
fuel tank. To prevent a fire hazard, move at
least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling area before
starting.
3. Turn unit off before setting it down.
4. Always hold unit firmly with both hands, the
thumb and fingers encircling the handles.

operate your equipment when it is improperly
adjusted or not completely and securely
assembled.

mixture.
7. Keep stringhead as close to ground as
practical. Avoid hitting small objects with
stringhead. When cutting on a slope, stand
below stringhead. NEVER cut or trim on a hill or
