Warning!
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause
susceptible persons to
have an allergic or
asthmatic reaction. Substantial or
repeated inhalation of dust and other
airborne contaminants, in particular
those with a smaller particle size, may
cause respiratory or other illnesses.
Control dust at the source where
possible. Use good work practices, such
as operating the unit so that the wind or
operating process directs any dust
raised by the power tool away from the
operator. Follow the recommendations
of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust ("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or near the
ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.

Operating instructions
!
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
See section of your power tool
instruction manual on the proper use of
the slide control.
!
Warning
The cutter blades continue to move for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
Accelerating the engine while the blades
are blocked increases the load and will
cause the clutch to slip continuously.
This may result in overheating and
damage to important components (e.g.
clutch, polymer housing components) –
which can then increase the risk of injury
from the blades moving while the engine
is idling.
!
Warning!
On units with an adjustable cutter bar:
Carefully adjust the cutter bar to the
desired cutting position.To reduce the
risk of injury, never touch the blades
while making adjustments. Only adjust
the cutter bar when the blades are no
longer moving.
!
Warning
The power tool
has a large range.
In order to reduce
15m (50ft)
the risk of personal
or even fatal injury
to bystanders from
falling objects or inadvertent contact with
the moving cutter blades of your power
tool always keep bystanders at least
50 feet (15m) away when the power tool
is running.
Stop the engine and cutting tool
immediately if you are approached.
!
Warning!
Before you start work, examine the work
area for stones, fence wire, metal or
other solid objects which could damage
the cutter blades.
Take particular care when cutting next to
wire fences. Do not touch the wire with
the cutting blades. When working close
to the ground, make sure that no sand,
grit or stones get between the cutter
blades.
