GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important
•
A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer can be
dangerous if used incorrectly or carelessly,
and can cause serious or fatal injury to the
operator or others. It is extremely important
that you read and understand the contents of
this operator's manual.
•
The machine is only designed for trimming
grass, grass clearing and/or forestry clearing.
•
The only accessories you can operate with
this engine unit are the cutting attachments we
recommend in the “TECHNICAL DATA”
section.
•
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking
medication that could affect your vision, your
judgment or your coordination.
•
Never use the machine in extreme weather
conditions such as severe cold, very hot
and/or humid climates.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading “Personal
protective equipment”.
•
Never use a machine that has been modified
in any way from its original specification.
•
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out
the checks, maintenance and service
instructions described in this manual. Some
maintenance and service measures must be
carried out by trained and qualified specialists.
See instructions under the “MAINTENANCE”
section.
•
All covers and guards must be fitted before
starting. Make sure the spark plug cap and
lead are not damaged. Otherwise you could
get an electric shock.
•
The machine operator must ensure that no
people or animals come closer than 15 meters
(50 feet) while working. When several
operators are working in the same area, the
safety distance should be at least 15 meters
(50 feet).
WARNING: This machine produces an
electromagnetic field during operation.
Under some circumstances, this field may
interfere with active or passive medical
implants. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury, we recommend persons with
medical implants to consult their
physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this
machine.
WARNING: Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly filed blade
can increase the risk of accidents.
WARNING: Never allow children to use or
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
stop switch and can be started by low
speed and force on the starter handle,
even small children under some
circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING: You must use approved
personal protective equipment whenever
you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of
injury but it will reduce the degree of
injury if an accident does happen. Ask
your dealer for help in choosing the right
equipment.
WARNING: Listen out for warning signals
or shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
Helmet
A helmet should be worn if the brush being cleared
is taller than 2 meters (6 feet).
Hearing Protection
Wear hearing protection that provides adequate
noise reduction.
Eye Protection
Always wear approved eye protection. If you use a
visor then you must also wear approved protective
goggles. Approved protective goggles must
comply with EN 166 in Europe, ANSI Z87 in the
United States, and CSA Z94 in Canada.
Gloves
Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g.,
when fitting cutting attachments.
