Method of operation
– Only use in good light and visibility. During the winter season beware of
slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe
footing.
– Never cut above waist height.
– Never stand on a ladder.
– Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation.
– Never work on unstable surfaces.
– Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range.
– Before commencing cutting, the cutting attachment must have reached full
working speed.
– Swing the Petrol String Trimmer evenly.
If grass or branches get caught between the cutting attachment and guard,
always stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional attachment
rotation may cause serious injury.
– Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to
take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
Cutting attachments
– Never use metal blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and ail
blades. Otherwise blade contact may cause serious injury.
Vibration
– People with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may
experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may
cause the following symptoms to occur in the ngers, hands or wrists: “Falling
asleep” (numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin color
or of the skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!
– To reduce the risk of “white nger disease”, keep your hands warm during
operation and well maintain the equipment and accessories.
Maintenance instructions
– Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center, always using
only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor maintenance can
shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of accidents.
– The condition of the equipment, in particular of the cutting attachment of the
protective devices must be checked before commencing work.
– Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connector when replacing cutting
attachments, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting attachment.
– Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnecessary throttle operation for
less pollution and noise emissions. Adjust the carburetor correctly.
– Clean the equipment at regular intervals and check that all screws and nuts
are well tightened.
– Never service or store the equipment in the vicinity of naked ames.
– Always store the equipment in locked rooms and with an emptied fuel tank.
