Protective measures against
kickbacks
In the event of a kickback, the
operator will feel a powerful
blow from the petrol-powered
trimmer. This may lead to lo-
sing control of the device and
serious injury. You can avoid
kickbacks through caution
and proper technique.
While working with the 3- or 4-tooth bla-
de there is a risk of kickback if the blade
edge hits an obstacle (stone, wood).
• Hold the device with both hands.
• Make sure there are no obstacles on the
ground and do not use the 3- or 4-tooth
blade near fences, metal posts or similar.

Use only properly
sharpened tools. To
cut thick stems, switch
