Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired
or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Proceed with caution, do not put
others in danger.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes,
ensure proper ventilation when working
in trenches, hollows or other confined
locations.
Stop work immediately if you start
suffering from nausea, headaches,
impaired vision (e.g. your field of vision
gets smaller), impaired hearing,
dizziness, or impaired concentration –
these symptoms may possibly be the
result of too-high exhaust gas
concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine
only when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke
while operating or standing near your
power tool. Combustible fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel system.
Dust, fumes and smoke produced while
working may be hazardous to health.
Wear respiratory protection in case of
heavy dust or smoke emission.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting".
Check in particular that the fuel system
has no leaks and the safety equipment is
fully operative. Never use a power tool
that is no longer safe to operate. In case
of doubt, contact a dealer.
Be particularly careful when working on
difficult, densely grown terrain.
When mowing in high shrubbery, under
shrubbery and hedges: Hold the cutting
tool at a working height of at least 15 cm
– avoid risks to animals.
Always shut off the engine before
leaving the unit unattended.
Examine the cutting attachment
periodically at short intervals and as
soon as you note any noticeable
changes:
– Stop the engine, hold the machine
securely, allow the cutting
attachment to come to a stop
– Check condition and secure fitting;
watch out for cracks
– Ensure that the cutting blades are
sharp
– Replace damaged or blunt cutting
attachments immediately, even in
the event of minor hairline cracks
Clean grass and plant residue off the
cutting attachment mounting at regular
intervals – remove any accumulated
material from the cutting attachment and
deflector.
As soon as the engine is
running, the power
machine generates toxic
exhaust gas.As soon as
the engine is running, the
power machine gener-
ates toxic exhaust gas.
These gases may be
odorless and invisible
and may contain
unburned hydrocarbons
and benzene. Never run
the engine indoors or in
poorly ventilated loca-
tions, even if your model
is equipped with a cata-
lytic converter.
To reduce the risk
of injuryfrom
thrown objects,
never operate the
unit without the
proper deflector for
the type of cutting
attachment being
used.
Check the work site –
rocks, metal objects etc.
could get caught up and
ejected – potentially
beyond a distance of
15 m – risk of injury! Such
objects can also damage
the cutting attachment
and other property (e.g.
parked vehicles,
windows).
