• Never use a product that is faulty. Carry out the

safety checks, maintenance and service instructions

described in this manual. Some maintenance and

service measures must be carried out by trained and

qualified specialists. 

• All covers, guards and handles must be fitted before

you start the product. Ensure that the spark plug cap

electric shock.

or anything that could affect your vision, alertness,

coordination or judgement.

• Do not use the product in bad weather such as

dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold,

brings added risks, such as icy ground,

unpredictable felling direction, etcetera.

• The only accessories you can operate with this

engine unit are the cutting attachments that we

recommend. 

• Never allow children to use or be in the vicinity of the

product. As the product is equipped with a spring-

loaded start/stop switch and can be started by low

speed and force on the starter handle, even small

children under some circumstances can produce the

force necessary to start the product. This can mean

a risk of serious personal injury. Therefore remove

the spark plug cap when the product is not under

close supervision.
