General Safety

• 

Always keep hands and feet away from all

pinch points.

• 

Do not touch parts that might be hot

from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.

• 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times. This enables better 
control of the machine in unexpected 
situations. Extending your body too far can 
result in a loss of balance and you may fall 
which will result in injury.

• 

Never place any part of your body where it

would be in danger if movement should occur
during assembly, installation, and operation,
maintenance, repairing or moving.

• 

Start the engine carefully according to

instructions and with feet away from the
moving parts.

• 

Do not place your hands or feet near or 

under rotating parts. Keep away from any 
discharge openings.

• 

Keep in mind that the operator or user is 

responsible for accidents, hazards or 
unexpected events involving the machine that 
occur to other people or their property. It is 
the responsibility of the user to assess the 
potential risk of the area where work is being 
carried out. The operator or user must take 
all necessary precautions to ensure their own 
safety and that of others, especially on slopes 
or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

• The machine may only be used, maintained 
or repaired by people who are familiar with it 
and its dangers. Unauthorised changes to the 
machine negate the manufacturer’s liability for 
damages resulting from this.

• The relevant accident prevention stipulations 
and other widely recognised safety rules must 
be observed.

• Check your machine before starting it. Keep 
guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely 
tightened.

• 

You must check the general condition of the 

machine before use.

• 

Never operate the machine when it is in 

need of repair or is in poor mechanical 
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or 
failed parts before using it. Check for fuel 
leaks. Keep the machine in safe working 
condition.

• 

Do not use the machine if the engine’s 

switch does not turn off the engine when 
running. Any petrol powered machine that 
can’t be controlled with the engine switch is 
dangerous and must be replaced.

• 

Regularly check to see that keys and 

adjusting wrenches are removed from the 
machine area before starting it. A wrench or 
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of 
the machine may result in personal injury.

• 

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the 

engine’s switch is off before transporting the 
machine or performing any maintenance or 
service on the unit. Transporting or performing
maintenance or service on a machine with its
switch on invites accidents.

• 

If the machine should start to vibrate

abnormally, stop the engine and check 
immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning sign of trouble.

• 

Do not tamper with or disable safety 

systems.

• The manufacturer’s stipulations concerning 
safety, work and maintenance as well as the 
measurements specified in Technical Data, 
must be complied with.
