SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE EXCELION 1200 BRUSH CUTTER AND GRASS TRIMMER
1– Do not use the metal cutting tools near walls, fences, tree trunks, rocks or other similar obstacles. Contact
with these types of elements can cause a rebound effect, increase the risk of ricochets and damage the
cutting tool. Pellenc recommends using Pellenc cutting wires for these work situations.
Never use the Excelion 1200 brush cutter and grass trimmer with one hand only.
2– Always use the machine with the cutting head parallel to the ground. The safety guard no longer provides
sufcientprotectioniftheangleofthecuttingheadisexcessive,whichislikelytoincreasetheriskofinjury.
3– Stop the Excelion 1200 brush cutter and grass trimmer immediately if the cutting tool starts responding
differently (different noise, increased vibrations). Check that the cutting tool is properly attached and verify
itscondition(nodistortion,sufcientlysharp).Replaceanydamagedcuttingtoolasitcanexplodeand
cause serious, even fatal injuries.
4– CAUTION: The cutting tool continues rotating for a few seconds after the control trigger has been released.
Always keep your hands and feet clear of the rotating cutting tool.
5– Cutting wire
• Never remove the blade installed in the safety guard as it trims the wire to the appropriate length.
• Neverusemetalwireoranyothermaterialinsteadofthenyloncuttingwire.Metalwireislikelytobreak
and be projected, causing serious injuries.
• Only use nylon cutting wire recommended by Pellenc with a max. diameter of 3 mm.
