15.
Do not operate the machine on steep slopes.
This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping or falling which
can cause injury.
16.
When working on a slope, always be sure of your footing, always work across a slope, never up or
down, and be extremely careful when changing direction.
This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
or falling which can cause injury.
17.
Keep all power cords away from the cutting blades.
A damaged power cord can cause electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
18.
Keep all parts of your body away from the strimmer wire or blade when the machine is in operation.
Before starting the machine, check that the strimmer wire or the blade are not in contact with any
element.
A moment of inattention while operating the machine may cause injury.
19.
Do not operate the machine above your waist height.
This is to prevent accidental contact with the cutting
device or blade and to better control the machine in unforeseen situations.
20.
When cutting underbrush or springy saplings, be careful of bounce back.
If the strain in the wood fibers
is released, brush or saplings can strike the operator and/or cause him to lose control of the machine.
21.
Cut brush and saplings with extreme care.
Fine debris can get caught in the machine, be projected and
cause a loss of balance.
22.
Keep control of the machine and do not touch the blades and other dangerous moving parts that are
still in motion.
This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
23.
When clearing jams or repairing the machine, make sure all switches are off and the power cord is
disconnected.
Unintentionally activation of the machine while clearing jams or performing repairs could result
in serious injury.
24.
Carry the machine off and always away from the body.
Correct handling of the machine reduces the likeli-
hood of accidental contact with the moving blade.
25.
When storing or transporting the machine, always cover the metal blades.
Correct handling of the machine
reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.
26.
Use only replacement strimmer wire, cutting heads and blades specified by the manufacturer.
Improper
replacement of parts can increase the risk of breakage and injury.
27.
When clearing jams or repairing the machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery pack has been
removed.
Unintentionally activation of the machine while clearing jams or performing repairs could result in
serious injury.
2.3. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden sideways, forward or backward movement of the machine that can occur when the blade jams
or hits an object (such as a sapling or stump). It can be violent enough to propel the machine and/or the operator,
and possibly lose control of the machine.
Kickback and its associated hazards can be avoided by taking the necessary precautions listed below.
1.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the machine and position your arms to resist the kickback.
Position your body to the left of the machine.
Kickback can increase the risk of injury from an unintended
movement of the machine. Blade kickback can be controlled by the operator provided precautions have been
taken.
2.
If the blade gets stuck or if a cut is interrupted for any reason, turn the machine off and leave it stationary
in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. If the blade is stuck, never attempt to remove
the machine from the material or pull it back while the blade is in motion, otherwise kickback may occur.
Find the cause and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the blade sticking.
3.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Dull or damaged blades increase the risk of blockage or hitting an object,
resulting in kickback.
4.
Always maintain a clear view of the material being cut.
Kickback is more likely to occur in areas where it
is difficult to see the material being cut.
5.
If a person approaches while the machine is running, turn off the machine.
The risk of injury to others
struck by the moving blade in the event of kickback is greater.
