– Check cutting tool or attachment for
correct and secure assembly and
good condition.
– Check protective devices (e.g.
deflector for cutting attachment,
rider plate) for damage or wear.
Always replace damaged parts. Do
not operate your machine with a
damaged deflector or worn rider
plate (lettering and arrows no longer
legible).
– Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices in any way.
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
– Adjust straps and loop handle to suit
your height and reach – see chapter
on "Fitting the Backpack".
– Check condition of carrying system
and the straps - replace if damaged
or worn.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate your power tool if it is damaged
or not properly assembled.
For emergencies: Practice quickly
opening the fastener on the waist belt,
loosening the shoulder straps and
setting down the unit. To avoid damage,
do not throw the machine to the ground
when practicing.
Starting the Engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Place the powerhead on firm ground in
an open area. Make sure you have good
balance and secure footing. Hold the
powerhead securely. The cutting
attachment must be clear of the ground
and all other obstructions because it
may begin to run when the engine starts.
Observe information in chapter on
"Starting / Stopping the Engine".
Your power tool is a one-person unit. To
reduce the risk of injury from thrown
objects, do not allow other persons
within a radius of 15 meters of your own
position – even when starting.
Do not drop start the power tool – start
the engine as described in the
instruction manual.
Check idle speed setting: The cutting
attachment must not rotate when the
engine is idling with the throttle trigger
released.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Carry the powerhead on your back. To
reduce the risk of injury, put the
powerhead on your back only after
starting and making sure the cutting
attachment is not rotating.
Always hold the drive tube firmly with
both hands on the handles – right hand
on control handle and left hand on loop
handle – and always keep the drive tube
on the right side of your body – even if
you are left-handed.
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the cutting attachment.
