could become trapped in
wood, brush or moving parts
of the machine. Do not wear a
scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie
up and confine long hair
above your shoulders.

Wear face protection and
make sure it is a good fit. Face
protection alone is not
sufficient to protect the eyes.

Transporting the machine

unplug it from the power
supply.

and damage.
Before Starting Work
Check the machine
Check that your machine is
properly assembled and in
good condition – refer to the
appropriate chapters in the
instruction manual:
– The trigger switch must
move freely – the switch
must return to the idle
position when it is
released.
– Use only an approved
combination of cutting
attachment, deflector and
handle. All parts must be
assembled properly and
securely. To reduce the
risk of injury, never use
metal cutting attachments!
– Check that the cutting
attachment is properly and
securely mounted and in
good condition.
– Check safety devices (e.g.,
deflector for cutting
attachments) for damage
and/or wear. Always
replace damaged parts.
Never operate the unit with
a damaged deflector
Clothing must be
robust but allow
complete freedom
of movement.
Wear close-fitting
clothing – a boiler-
suit, not a loose
work jacket.
Wear sturdy shoes
with non-slip soles.
To reduce the risk
of eye injuries,
wear close-fitting
safety glasses in
accordance with
European Stand-
ard EN 166. Make
sure the safety

fit.
Wear sturdy pro-
tective gloves
made of a resistant
material (e.g.
