Operational safety instructions for cutting blades

Preparation
■ The cutting blade flings objects and soil with great force. They can
cause blindness or other injuries. Wear eye, face and leg protection.
Always remove objects from the work area before using the cutting
blade.
■ The cutting blade continues running after the throttle lever has been
released. A running-down cutting blade can inflict cuts to yourself or
other people standing nearby. Switch the engine off and make sure that
the cutting blade has come to a complete stop before performing any
work on the cutting blade.
Personal safety
■ The tool can cause blindness or other injuries to bystanders. Maintain
a minimum distance of 15 metres in all directions between the tool and
other people or animals.
Use and handling
■ Do not use the tool if any of the cutting blade accessories have not
been properly installed.
■ The cutting blade can kick back from objects with force. It can cause
injuries to your arms and legs. If the tool comes into contact with a
foreign body, immediately shut down the engine and wait until the
cutting blade has come to a complete stop. Check the cutting blade for
damage. Always replace the cutting blade if it is bent or cracked.

Safety devices/equipment

The corresponding plastic protective guard for the cutting blade or filament
operation must be installed when working with the tool in order to prevent
objects from being flung away.
WARNING!
■ Never mow/trim while other individuals, especially children or
animals, are in the vicinity.
■ Maintain a safety distance of 15 m. Switch off the tool immediately if
this distance is not maintained.
ATTENTION! RISK OF POISONING!
■ Exhaust gases, fuels and lubricants are toxic. Exhaust gases must
never be inhaled.
WARNING!
■ Petrol is highly flammable. Store petrol only in the containers provid-
ed.
■ Refuel only outdoors and do not smoke.
■ The filler cap must not be opened and refuelling must not take place
while the engine is running or when the tool is hot.
■ Do not attempt to start the engine if the petrol has overflowed.
Instead, remove the tool from the area polluted by petrol. Do not
attempt to restart the tool until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
■ For safety reasons, the petrol tank and filler cap must be replaced if
they are damaged.

visually inspect the tool to check whether the cutting tool, mounting
bolts and the entire cutting unit is damaged. Worn or damaged
