permitted to use it for other tasks.
• Use personal protective equipment. Refer to
Personal protective equipment on page 11 .
• Make sure that you know how to stop the engine
quickly in an emergency.
• Never start the engine in a closed space or near
flammable material. The exhaust fumes from the

heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade

the product immediately. Disconnect the ignition
cable from the spark plug. Examine the product for
damages. Repair damages or let an authorised
