Avoid wearing damaged clothing which is too loose or has hanging straps or ribbons. Loose clothing parts can be caught by the
tool's moving parts which can lead to injuries.
Carefully check the area where the tool will be operated and remove any objects which could get into the tool. Caught objects can
cause damage to the tool, or can be ejected at high speed, which poses a threat to the operator and the environment.
WARNING — Petrol is fl ammable:
- store fuel in containers designed for this purpose,
- refuel only outdoors and do not smoke during refuelling,
- refuel before starting the engine; never remove the fuel tank cover or add fuel if the engine is running or hot,
- if petrol is spilled, do not try to start the engine, just move the machine away from the spill area and avoid creating any sources
of ignition until the petrol vapours dissipate,
- safely replace the fuel tank and the tank cover.
Replace damaged silencer. Working with a damaged silencer is not only noisier, but can cause fi re, burns and exhaust gas poisoning.
Always check the blades, bolts and the blades' assembly equipment for wear or damage before use. Replace worn-out or dam-
aged parts in sets to maintain balance. Replace damaged or illegible plates.
Operation
Do not use the engine in a confi ned space where vapours of dangerous carbon monoxide may accumulate.
Work only in daylight or in good artifi cial lighting. Improper lighting of the workplace can lead to accidents.
When on a slope, always make sure your feet are set fi rmly.
Walk, never run.
Work across the slopes, never up or down. This will make control of the tool much easier.
Take special care when changing driving direction on a slope.
Do not work on excessively inclined slopes.
Pay special attention when reversing or pulling the tool towards you.
Do not change the settings of the engine regulator and do not exceed the maximum engine speed.
Turn off the drive of the cutting element(s) if the tool must be tilted when moving it on surfaces other than the workplace and when
transported to and from the workplace.
Do not use the tool with damaged guards or housings and without a safety device, e.g. attached guards.
Switch on the engine carefully in accordance with the instructions, paying attention to whether your feet are away from the cutting
element.
Do not tilt the tool when starting the engine, except when it requires tilting during starting. In this case, do not tilt more than nec-
essary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
Keep your hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Do not move the tool with the engine running.
Stop the engine and make sure that all moving parts have stopped:
Stop the tool and make sure that all moving parts have stopped:
- every time you step away from the tool;
- before refuelling,
- before checking, cleaning or repairing the tool;
- after it being hit by a foreign object. Check that the tool is not damaged and, if necessary, repair it before restarting and operating.
If the tool starts to vibrate excessively (check immediately):
- check for damage;
- replace or repair any damaged part;
- check and tighten any loose parts.
Maintenance and storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws in good condition to ensure safe tool operation.
Never store the tool with petrol in the tank inside the building where vapours can reach open fl ames or sparks.
Allow the engine to cool down before storage.
To reduce the risk of fi re, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of plant material and excess grease.
In the case of multi-blade tools, be careful, as rotation of one cutting element may cause rotation of other blades.
Use caution when adjusting the tool to avoid fi ngers getting between the tool's moving blades and fi xed parts.
Always leave the tool to cool down before the next start-up, or before storing in a closed space.
Be careful when performing any work on the blades, even when the drive is switched off as the blades can still rotate. Always wait
for the blades to come to a complete stop before proceeding with any activities.
Replace worn-out or damaged parts to ensure safety of operation. Use original spare parts and equipment only.
If the fuel has to be drained from the tank, this must be done outdoors.
Risks related to noise and vibrations
The tool is designed to reduce the risk of exposing the user to noise and vibration as much as possible. However, it is not possible
to completely eliminate these hazards. Additionally, people in the vicinity of the operating tool are also exposed to noise hazards.
