Additional Instructions - EINHELL GH-BC 33-4 S Manual De Instrucciones

•
Set the line spool to the required height. Avoid
touching small objects such as stones with
the line spool.
•
When carrying out mowing work on a slope
always stand at a lower level than the cutting
tool. Never cut or trim on a smooth, slippery
hill or slope.
•
Keep all parts of your body and items of
clothing away from the line spool when you
start the engine and when the engine is run-
ning. Before you start the engine ensure that
the line spool will not strike an obstacle.
•
Always switch off the engine before working
on the cutting tool.
•
Store the equipment and accessories in
a safe place protected from naked flames
and heat/spark sources such as gas geyser
heaters, tumble driers, oil stoves or portable
radiators, etc.
•
Keep the guard hood, line spool and engine
clear of mowing debris at all times.
•
Only adequately trained people and adults
may use, adjust and maintain the equipment.
•
If you are not familiar with the equipment,
practice handling it with the engine off.
•
Always check the site you want to mow before
you begin your work. Solid objects such as
pieces of metal, bottles, stones, etc. can be
catapulted away and cause serious injuries
and permanent damage to the equipment. If
you touch a solid object with the equipment
by mistake, switch off the engine immediately
and check the equipment for signs of dama-
ge. Never use the equipment if it is damaged
or defective.
•
Always operate the equipment in its high
speed range for trimming and cutting. Do not
let the engine run at low speed at the start of
mowing or during trimming work.
•
Only use the equipment for the purpose for
which it is intended, such as trimming and
mowing weeds.
•
Never hold the line spool above knee height
when the equipment is in operation.
•
Do not use the equipment if other people or
animals are in the immediate vicinity. Keep a
minimum distance of 15 m between yourself
and other people or animals when mowing.
Keep a distance of 30 m if you are mowing
down to the ground.
If it is used for a lengthy period, the vibrations it
causes in the hands of the user may result in cir-
culation problems (white fi nger syndrome).

The hand-arm vibration syndrome (vibration white
fi nger) is a vascular disease that involves seizure-
like spasms of the fi ngers and toes. The aff ected
areas are no longer suffi ciently supplied with
blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The
frequent use of vibrating equipment may trigger
nerve damage in people with an impaired circula-
tion (for example smokers, diabetics).
Should you observe any unusual impairments,
interrupt your work immediately and consult a
doctor.
Follow these instructions in order to reduce the
dangers:
•
Keep your body and in particular your hands
warm when working in the cold
•
Take regular breaks and move your hands
to stimulate the blood circulation during the
breaks.
•
Ensure that the equipment makes the least
possible vibration through regular mainte-
nance and solid parts on the equipment.
