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.
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.
FCS-KM
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch / momentary stop
switch to 0 or STOP.
See section of your KombiEngine
instruction manual on the proper use of
the slide control / stop switch /
momentary stop switch.
WARNING
The cutting attachment continues to
rotate for a short period after the throttle
trigger is released (flywheel effect.)
WARNING
The rotating cutting attachment may
fling foreign objects directly or by
ricochet a great distance.
15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Even maintaining a
minimum distance of 15 meters cannot
exclude the potential danger. Any
coworkers who must be in the restricted
area should also wear goggles or
protective glasses. Stop the engine
immediately if you are approached.
WARNING
Inspect the work area: To
reduce the risk of injury,
remove stones, pieces of
metal and other solid
objects which could be
thrown 15 meters or more
by the cutting attachment
or damage the cutting
attachment and property
(e.g. parked vehicles,
windows).
WARNING
This edger is normally to be used at
ground level with the KombiTool
perpendicular to the ground. Use of an
edger above ground level or with the
cutting attachment parallel to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed
and the edger may be more difficult to
control. Never use your edger as a
hedge trimmer.
WARNING
During cutting, check the tightness and
the condition of the cutting attachment at
regular short intervals with the engine
and attachment stopped. If the behavior
of the attachment changes during use,
stop the engine immediately, wait until
the cutting attachment stops, and check
the nut securing the attachment for
tightness and the blade for cracks, wear
and damage.
