OPERATING THE UNIT
WITH THE CUTTING BLADE
 Before operating the unit, please read all safety
instructions carefully.
 Always keep the handle bar between the user and
cutting attachment.
 NEVER cut material if the cutting blade is 75 cm or higher
above ground level.
 The unit may recoil if the rotating blade strikes an object
which cannot be cut immediately. Recoils may be strong
enough to throw the unit and/or user in any direction and
may cause the user to lose control of the unit. Recoils
may occur without warning if the blade gets caught,
jams or locks. This can easily happen in areas in which
the material to be cut is difficult to see.
 Never use the undergrowth blade to cut undergrowth
thicker than 12.7 mm. Otherwise, violent recoils may
occur.
 Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade while
it is rotating.
 A rotating blade may cause injuries, even when the
engine has been switched off or the throttle has been
released. Hold the unit firmly until the blade has come
to a standstill.
 Do not run the engine at high speed when it is not
cutting.

If you strike or ensnare a foreign object, immediately
switch off the engine and check whether the unit has
been damaged. Have the repair damaged before
continuing to use the unit. Do not use the unit with
a bent, cracked or blunt blade. Throw away bent,
twisted, cracked or broken blades.
 Do not sharpen the cutting blade. The sharpened tip of
the blade may break off during operation. This may result
in serious injuries. Replace the blade.

KEEP THIS MANUAL.
If extremely violent vibrations occur, switch off the engine
IMMEDIATELY. Vibrations are a sign of problems. Check
thoroughly for loose bolts, nuts or other damage before
you continue cutting. If required, repair or replace the
affected parts.
Clean the cutting blades with a household detergent
to remove any remnants. Lubricate the blade with
machine oil to prevent rust.
Store and lock away the blade securely to protect it from
damage and unauthorised use.
As long as the tank still has petrol in it, never store the
unit in a building where vapours could come into contact
with sparks or naked flames.
Leave the engine to cool down before transporting
or conveying the unit. Attach the unit securely for
transportation.
Store the unit in a dry condition, locked away or high
up to prevent unauthorised use and damage. Keep the
unit away from children.
Never douse or splash the unit with water or other
liquids. Keep the handle bar dry, clean and dust-free.
Clean the unit after each use and follow the instructions
for cleaning and storage.
Dispose of waste petrol/oil or any packaging remnants
in accordance with local regulations.
Keep this manual. Read it frequently and use it to instruct
other users. If you lend this unit to somebody else, also
include this manual.
