SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRASS TRIMMER/BRUSH CUTTER/HEDGE TRIMMER
- Before starting work, it is recommended to check the objects to be cut for possible for-
eign objects and to remove them. When despite of this you encounter a foreign object
during cutting, switch off the tool and remove this object.
- If the tool is jammed by a foreign object (stones, piles of grass), switch it off, and remove
the object using a blunt item. Never use your fingers to remove jammed foreign objects,
because this may cause serious injuries.
- Always keep the running tool away from your body.
- Keep body parts and pieces of clothing away from the trimmer head when you start the
engine, or keep it running.
- Always keep in mind that especially during trimming of lawn edges, gravel enclosures,
and similar locations stone and dirt can be hurled away from the cutting line.
- Never cross roads or paths when the tool is switched on.
- Never cut against hard objects such as stone, etc. This way you avoid injuries, and dam-
ages to the tool.
- Never use the tool without the guards attached.
- Never use your hands to stop the cutting device. Always wait until it stops on its own.
- Hold and guide the trimmer head as close to the ground as possible.
- Only cut grass growing on the ground. Do not cut grass in cracks in walls, growing or on
rocks, etc.
- Always make sure no objects, or other debris is collecting in the trimmer head, in the pro-
tective hood, or in the engine.
- Always switch off the tool, before you put it down. Put the tool down only after the cut-
ting tool has completely stopped and the motor is turned off.
- CAUTION: The cutting tool continues rotating for a few seconds after the engine is
turned off.
- Keep in mind that there is risk of injuries in the area of the cutting device intended to cut
off the line.
- When the cutting tool is damaged, it must be replaced at once.
- Always use the original line only. Never use a metal wire instead of the nylon line. Do not
use any wire, or anything similar in the line spool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLE SAW
- Use the gripping spikes for every cut as the starting point and always start the cut with
the saw chain running. Make the cut in such a way that the saw does not get jammed in
the wood.
- Pay particular attention to branches under tension.
- Always pull the tool out of the wood when the saw chain is running.
- Never work with the tool above shoulder height or with only one hand.
- Always stand away from the falling direction. Position yourself on a slope above the tree
to be felled.
- Always stand sideways when carrying out sawing work on a tree which is located on a
slope, never work from above or below.
- Always look out for the falling direction of the parts which are cut off.
- Never start the cut with the bar tip and never cut with the bar tip.
