Wemars WS-ST42G, Instructions Manual

• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold at all times.

Do not overreach.

• Always hold the product with both hands. Hold the

product on the right side of your body.

• Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
• Switch off the engine before you move to another

area. Fit the transportation guard before you carry or

transport the equipment any distance.

• Never put the product down with the engine running

unless you have it in clear sight.

• Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you

remove material that has wound around the blade

shaft. Neither the operator of the product nor anyone

else may attempt to remove the cut material while

the engine is running or the cutting equipment is

rotating, as this can result in serious injury. The

bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain

so for a while afterwards. You could get burnt if you

touch it.

• Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear approved

eye protection. Never lean over the cutting

attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etcetera, can be

thrown up into the eyes which can cause blindness

or serious injury.

• Sometimes branches or grass get caught between

the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the

engine before you clean the product.

• Always slow the engine to idle speed after each

working operation. Long periods at full throttle

without any load on the engine can lead to serious

engine damage.

• Listen out for warning signals or shouts when you

wear hearing protection. Always remove your

hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.

• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory

damage or nerve damage in people who have

impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you

experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.

These symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,

tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in

skin color or condition. These symptoms normally

appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.

• Do not use a product with a damaged spark plug

cap.

• Do not use a product with a defective muffler.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating

cutting attachment and hot surfaces.

• Never use a product with a faulty muffler
• Never start or use the product indoors, near

combustible material or in spaces that lacks proper

ventilation. The exhaust fumes from the engine

contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous

and highly dangerous gas. Also, the exhaust fumes

are hot and may contain sparks that can start a fire.

Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning instructions

that follow before you use the product.

• Always use approved personal protective equipment

when you use the product. Personal protective

equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it

decreases the degree of injury if an accident does

occur. Let your dealer help you select the right

equipment.

• Use a protective helmet where there is a risk of

falling objects.

• Use approved hearing protection that provides

adequate noise reduction. Long-term exposure to

noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.

• Use approved eye protection. If you use a visor, you

must also use approved protective goggles.

Approved protective goggles must comply with the

ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USAs or EN 166 in EU

countries.

• Use gloves when necessary, for example when you

attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.
