Safety measures when handling the cutting blade
■
The device may cause blindness and injuries to bystanders. Maintain a
minimum distance of 15 metres in all directions between the device and
other persons or animals.
■
Do not use the device if any of the cutting blade accessories have not
been properly installed.
■
The cutting blade can be catapulted away from objects with force.
This can lead to arm or leg injuries. If the device 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 torn.
■
The cutting blade forcefully slings away objects as well as soil. This may
cause blindness or injuries. Wear eye, face and leg protection. Always
remove objects from the work area before using the cutting blade.

The cutting blade continues to run down once the throttle lever has
been released. A cutting blade that is running down to a stop may
cause cutting injuries to you or bystanders. 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.
