cutting tools.
– Only ever carry the power tool in work posture:
– Power tool on your back, left hand on the front handle
and right hand on the operating lever (also applies
to left-handed people), with the cutting tools lowered
towards the ground.
– In order to prevent damage and injury, or fuel from leak-
ing, secure the tool against tipping over when transport-
ing it in vehicles. Check the fuel tank for tightness. We
recommend emptying the fuel tank before transport.
– The fuel tank must be emptied before shipment.
– Make sure that no persons or animals are close to the
working area (minimum distance of 15 m).
Grass being cut and thrown up may contain foreign
objects such as stones. You are responsible for the
safety in your working area, and you are liable for
damages to persons or property.
– It is not permitted to either start or use the petrol brush
cutter in the vicinity of persons or animals.
– Do not use the tool when you are tired or distracted,
or your ability to react is impaired when you are under
the influence of alcohol or medication.Inattentiveness
may cause serious injuries.
– Use approved safety goggles. Use approved ear pro-
tection. Use high-quality safety gloves.
– Use high-quality skid-proof protective shoes with safe-
ty steel caps. Never operate the tool wearing sandals,
or when barefoot.
– Always wear an approved safety helmet for working
in a forest.
– Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Wear long trou-
sers to protect your legs. Wear safety helmet for long

– Keep body parts and clothing away from the cutting
tool when you start the engine, or keep it running.
– Make sure you are standing in a stable and secure
position during work. Avoid moving backwards with
the tool due to risk of stumbling.

– When the petrol cutting blade has been operate for
long hours, it may cause a circulatory disorder due to
vibration (Raynaud's disease). In this case, it is impos-
sible to specify any length of operation, because it may
differ from person to person. The following factors can
have an influence on this phenomenon: Circulatory
disorders in the hands of the operator, low outdoor
temperatures, long hours of operation. Therefore, it is
recommended to wear warm protective gloves, and to
take breaks at regular intervals.
– The exhaust of internal combustion engines is poison-
ous and can lead to suffocation, among others. It is not
allowed to operate the petrol cutting blade in closed
or poorly ventilated rooms.
