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
impossible to specify any length of operation, becau-
se 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.
Always adopt a stable and safe working posture with
–
secure footing.
– Regularly change your working position to prevent
getting tired.
The exhaust of internal combustion engines is poi-
–
sonous and can lead to suffocation, among others.

–
is not allowed to open the cap of the fuel tank or

– Check the tool, and its components and guards for
damages, or wear and tear before each use, and have
it repaired, if necessary. Never make the devices for
protection and safety inoperable. Do not use the tool,
when damages or signs of wear become apparent.
Keep the tools clean and fully functional to ensure
–
better and safer work.
Always maintain a safe distance between the tool
–
and your body during work.
Always switch off the tool when work will be interrupted
–
or the location will be changed; wait until the cutting
tools have completely stopped, and turn off the engine.
Never leave the tool without supervision at the place
–
of work. Store the tool at a safe place when work
will be interrupted.
Persons operating the machine must not be distrac-
–
ted, or one may lose control over the tool.
Never use the tool during rain, in a humid or wet
–
environment, and do not store it outdoors.
Should the tool become wet, wait until it is completely
–
dry before you use it again.
Avoid contact with metal objects, stones etc.
–
Before starting work, it is recommended to check the
–
objects to be cut for possible foreign objects and to
remove them. When despite of this you encounter a
foreign object during cutting, switch off the tool and
remove this object.
If the tool is jammed by a foreign object (stones, piles of
–
grass), switch it off, and remove the object using a blunt
item. Never use your fingers to remove jammed foreign
objects, because this may cause serious injuries.
Always keep the running tool away from your body.
–
Attention: the cutting tool still runs for some time after
–
the tool is switched off!
Do not overload the engine, and do not use it for
–
work the tool is not designed for.
Always make sure the ventilation openings are free
–
of dirt.
Store the tool out of the reach of children.
–
Store the tool at a safe and dry location.
–
– Check the engine for damages after impact, or other
damages.
Keep body parts and pieces of clothing away from
–
the trimmer head when you start the engine, or
keep it running.
Always keep in mind that especially during trimming
–
of lawn edges, gravel enclosures, and similar loca-
tions stone and dirt can be hurled away from the
cutting line.
Never cross roads or paths when the tool is swit-
–
ched on.
Never cut against hard objects such as stone, etc.
–
This way you avoid injuries, and damages to the tool.
– When using metal cutting tools, there is a basic risk
of kickback if the tool meets a fixed obstruction (sto-
nes, trees, branches etc.). In this event, the tool is
whipped back in the opposite direction of rotation.
Never use the tool without the guards attached.
