SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Basic safety precautions

1.Observe your surroundings:

• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect

your control of the machine.

• To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into

contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be
thrown by the cutting equipment.

•

NOTE!

 Never use a machine without the possibility of

calling for help in the event of an accident.

2.Avoid usage in

unfavourable weather
conditions. For example,
thick fog, heavy rain,
strong winds or extreme
cold, etc. To work in bad
weather conditions is
tiring and can create
dangerous circumstances,
e.g. slippery surfaces.

3.Make sure you can walk

and stand safely. Look out
for any obstacles with
unexpected movement
(roots, stones, branches,
pits, ditches, etc.). Take
great care when working
on sloping ground.

4.The engine should be switched off before moving. When

moving over longer distances and transporting the transport
guard should be used.

5.Never put the machine down with the engine running unless

you have good sight of it.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

•

This section takes up the basic safety

precautions for working with the trimmer.

•

If you encounter a situation where you are

uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
expert. Contact your dealer or your service
workshop.

•

Avoid all usage which you consider to be

beyond your capability.

Basic working techniques

• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.

Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels
from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to
serious engine damage.

Designations

• Brush cutting is a general

term for clearing grass.
Grass blades are used for
this purpose.

• Grass trimming is a

general term for light
clearing, e.g. around
edges or around trees. A
trimmer head or plastic
blade is used.

!

WARNING!
Sometimes branches, grass or wood can
get caught between the guard and cutting
equipment. Always stop the engine when
cleaning.

• A blade is used for all

types of high or thick
grass.

• The grass is cut down

with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the
movement from right-to-
left is the clearing stroke
and the movement from
left-to-right is the return
stroke. Let the blade work
on the left-hand side
(between 8 and 12
o’clock).

Brush cutting using a grass blade

• If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will

collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when
raking.

• Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.

Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.

• Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used

to protect the blade from hitting the ground.

• Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by

following these instructions:
a)

Always work at full throttle.

b)

Avoid the previously cut material during the return

stroke.

• Stop the engine, loosen the harness and place the machine

on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.
