distraction could cause severe personal injuries.

Never operate the machine with defective guards, or
without safety devices.

Do not modify the machine controls or regulations of

Clear the work place of tools and keys prior to start
up. If the machine comes into contact with a key or

personal damages.

Do not overstretch. Maintain your feet well placed on
the floor and maintain a good equilibrium at all times.
Always maintain proper foot support and run the
machine only when standing on a fixed surface, safe
and stable. Or unstable sliding surfaces may cause
loss of balance or control of the machine.

Keep all parts of body away from the cutting elements
when the machine is running. Before start up, make
sure that the cutting element is not in contact with any
object. One small lapse in attention can cause your
clothes or any body part to be caught by the cutting
device.

Always use the brushcutter attached to the harness

engine, wait until the cutting device stops and unplug
the spark plug wire.

hooked to the harness and with your hands on the
handles, with the engine stopped, with the blade
protector and at a distance from your body parts.
When transporting or storing the machine, always
cover the blade. An appropriate use of the machine
