clearing saw handles and grips are in
good condition and free of moisture,
pitch, oil, fuel mix or grease.
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting attachment above waist height.
FS 311
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
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen-
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon
monoxide, that are
known to cause respira-
tory problems, cancer,
birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some
of the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To
reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury / illness
from inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the machine
indoors or in poorly venti-
lated locations.
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
accompanied the substance at issue.
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, shut off
the engine immediately by pressing the
stop switch.
WARNING
The cutting attachment
continues to rotate for a
short period after the
throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect.)
