WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, be absolutely sure that the
cutting tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
move the blade on the cutting tool.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
With the engine running only at idle,
attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness if you are using one (see
appropriate chapter of this manual).
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
See also the safety precautions on
Starting in the instruction manual of the
KombiEngine.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Your left hand should grip the loop
handle. Your right hand should grip the
rear handle with the throttle trigger. This
also applies to left-handers.
WARNING
Pull your powertool. Never push it
forward. Always hold the unit on the left
hand side of your body and with the
cutting tool behind at a safe distance.
See the section on "Using the Unit".
WARNING
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting in
serious or fatal injury may
result. To reduce the risk
of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away
from the cutting attach-
ment. Never touch a
moving cutting attach-
ment with your hand or
any other part of your
body.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions (wet
ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown
terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such
as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling. For better footing, clear
away scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
If the vegetation being cut or the
surrounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompany the substance at issue.
