2.9 PETROL BRUSH-CUTTER AND GRASS-TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• The use of this machine may be hazardous. If the rotating line or blade comes in contact
with your body, it will cut you. When it comes in contact with solid foreign objects such as
rocks or bits of metal, it may ing them directly or by ricochet in the direction of bystanders
or the operator.
• Kick-back (blade-thrust) is the sudden and uncontrolled motion towards the operator's
right or rear that can occur when the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock area of a rotating blade
comes in contact with a solid rigid object like a tree, rock, bush or wall. The rapid counter
clockwise rotation of the blade may be stopped or slowed, and the cutting attachment
may be thrown to the right or to the rear. This kick-back (blade-thrust) may cause loss
of control of the power tool and may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or
bystanders. To reduce the risk of injury, extreme caution should be used when cutting with
the shaded area of any rigid blade.
• Never use a harness with a defective quick release. Use the quick release mechanism if the
engine catches re or in any other emergency situation that requires you to free yourself
from the machine or harness.
• Keep blades sharp. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, except the carburettor adjustment
screws, before each use.
• Wear gloves when handling or performing maintenance on blades.
• The carburettor comes from the factory with a standard setting. The carburettor has
been adjusted for optimum performance and fuel eciency in all operating states. The
carburettor shall be only adjusted by authorized person.
• Fouled air lters will impair engine performance, increase fuel consumption, excessively
wear the parts and make the machine more dicult to start. Clean the lter every 25
hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty. Remove the air lter cover
and take out the lter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the lter is dry
before retting it. A damaged air lter must always be replaced.
• When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the vent valve and the fuel lter for
blockage.
• The bevel gear is lled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before
using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is lled three quarters full with
grease. The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs
are carried out.
• The spark plug condition is inuenced by:
- Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
- An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).
- A dirty air lter.
