can cause injuries to the arms or legs. Keep
bystanders and animals at least 15 m away
from where you are working. If the equip-
ment strikes a foreign body, stop the engine
immediately and wait for the blade to come
to a standstill. Check the blade for signs of
damage. Always replace the blade if it is bent
or cracked.
•
The blade is liable to catapult away objects
with high force. This can cause blindness or
injuries. Wear protection on your eyes, face
and legs. Always remove objects from your
working area before you use the blade.
•
Carefully check the equipment and its fittings
for signs of damage every time before use.
Do not use the equipment unless all the blade
fittings are installed correctly.
•
When you release the throttle lever, the blade
will continue to rotate and will only gradually
come to a standstill. A blade which is in the
process of rotating to a standstill can cause
you or bystanders injuries through cutting.
Before you start any work on the blade, switch
off the engine and ensure that the blade has
come to a standstill.
•
The danger zone has a radius of 15 meters.
Bystanders may suffer blindness or injuries.
Keep a distance of 15 meters between your-
self and other people or animals.
