Before Starting the Engine
Place your machine on the ground in a flat, clear area and hold it firmly to ensure that neither the
cutting head or throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the engine starts.
After Starting the Engine
Ensure the cutting head stops moving when the throttle trigger is released (idle). If the cutting
head continues to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the idle screw on the carburettor to
a point where the cutting head stops moving. If this cannot be achieved, take your machine to
your authorised MITOX® dealer for adjustment.
Avoid Noise Problems
Check and follow the local regulations for sound levels and hours of operation for garden
machinery. In general, operate garden machinery between 8am and 5pm weekdays and 9am
and 5pm weekends. Avoid using garden machinery early in the morning and/or late at night.
Safety During Operation
When using this product grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart
so your weight is evenly distributed across both legs and always maintain a steady even posture.
Do not use whilst on a ladder. Never attempt to cut overhead or with one hand.
•
Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
•
Be careful not to hit the cutting head against stones or the ground.
•
Never allow other persons to enter the work area, particularly children or pets. Doing so
may expose them to danger and flying debris can cause injuries.
•
If material gets caught in or around the cutting head during operation, always stop the
engine before removing it.
•
Never touch the spark plug or HT cable while the engine is running, doing so may result in
an electrical shock.
•
Never touch the exhaust, spark plug or any metallic parts while the engine is running or
immediately after shutting down the engine. These parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in serious burns.
•
When you finish working in one location and wish to continue work in another area, stop
the engine and fit any blade safety guards.
