Safety precautions for handling the blade
• 
Take not of all warnings and instructions rela-
ting to operating and fitting the blade.
• 
The blade can recoil suddenly from objects 
if it cannot cut or mow through them. This 
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.
