Before starting work, prepare the area. You should remove the stones, pieces of wood, branches, wires, bones and other foreign
objects, which can cause damage to the grass trimmer or will be thrown out during the operation.
When working with the blade there is a risk of blade rebounding towards you and you being hit by the blade. To minimize this risk,
do not cut plant parts which are too hard. Rebounding occurs during the sudden stop of the blade during its operation, for example,
in the case of inability to cut a bush. Such stoppage results in rotation of the device in opposite direction to the rotation of blade. To
prevent rebound phenomenon and its consequences use extreme caution when working with the blade. Do not place body parts
in the area of the possible movement of the blade after rebounding. Maintain proper posture and balance during the work time.
Hold the tool handles fi rmly and always use the supplied harness or sling. The grass trimmer rebound can lead to the fall down of
its operator and endanger the operator for contact with rotating blade. The blade should be sharpened.
Turn the engine on in accordance with the instructions, pay attention to the feet, hands and other body parts, whether they are
away from the cutting element. Do not keep the hands, feet and other body parts in the vicinity of the rotating parts.
Stop the engine when:
- every time when you need to go away from the device,
- before cleaning, checking, or servicing the device,
- after striking by a foreign object. Check whether the grass trimmer is damaged and, if necessary, make repairs, before restarting.
- if the device begins to vibrate excessively (check immediately).
- during handling and transportation of the device.
ATTENTION! After stopping the engine, the cutting unit rotates for some time. Wait until it stops.
Always observe your surroundings and keep alert to possible threats, which may not be realized due to the noise of the device.
