Operational safety instructions for the cutting
blade
Preparation
■ The cutting blade flings objects and soil with great force. These can
blind or cause 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. Turn 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 appliance can blind and cause injuries to bystanders. Maintain a
minimum distance of 15 metres in all directions between the appliance
and other people or animals.
Use and handling
■ Do not use the appliance if any of the cutting blade accessories have
not been properly installed.
■ The cutting blade can kick back from objects with force. This can cause
injuries to your arms and legs. If the appliance 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.
