Caution! A certain residual risk, which cannot be eliminated, always remains even
in the case of proper use of the tool. The following potential hazards can be
derived from the type and design of the tool:
• Contact with the unprotected cutting head (cuts).
• Reaching into the scythe when it is running (cuts).
• Hearing damage if no appropriate protection is worn.
• Dust and gas formation that is harmful to health if the equipment is used in enclosed spaces
(nausea).
Additional Safety Regulations
1. Caution! Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting area, particularly
when starting the equipment.
