This section describes
the basic safety pre-
cautions for working with trimmers. If you
encounter
a situation where you are uncer-
tain how to proceed you should ask an ex-
pert. Contact your servicing dealer.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be
beyond your capability.
You must understand the difference between
forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass
trimming before use.
Basic safety rules
/ @OO
1. Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals
or other
things cannot affect your control of the
machine.
• To ensure that people, animals,
etc.,
do not come h_to contact
with the cut-
ting attachment
or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attach-
ment.
• CAUTION!
Do not use the machine
unless you are able to call for help in
the event of an accident.
2. Do not use the machine in bad weather,
such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense coid, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and often brings added
risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable
felling direction, etc.
3. Make sure you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible ob-
stacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.)
in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on stoping ground.
4. Switch off the engine before moving to
another area. Fit the transport guard before
carrying or transporting the equipment any
distance.
5. Never put the machine down with the engine
running or while the cutting attachment
is
rotating.
The
ABC
of clearing
• Always use the correct equipment.
• Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.
• Follow the safety precautions.
• Organise your work carefully.
• Always use full throttle when starting to cut
with the blade.
• Always use sharp blades.
• Avoid stones.
WARNING:
Neither the operator
of the machine
nor anyone
else
may attempt
to remove
the cut ma-
terial while the engine is running
or
the cutting equipment
is rotating,
as this can result in serious
injury.
Stop the engine
and cutting equip=
ment before you remove
material
that has wound
around the blade
shaft as otherwise
there
is a risk of
injury. The bevel gear can get hot
during
use and may remain
so for a
while afterwards.
You could get
burned
if you touch it,
WARNING:
Watch out for
thrown
objects.
Always
wear ap=
proved eye protection.
Never
lean
over the cutting attachment
guard.
Stones,
rubbish,
etc. can be thrown
up into the eyes causing
blindness
or serious
injury.
Keep unautho-
rised
persons
at a distance.
Chil-
dren,
animals,
onlookers
and help-
ers should
be kept outside
the
safety zone of 15 m. Stop the ma-
chine immediately
if anyone
ap-
proaches.
Never swing the ma-
chine around
without
first
checking
behind
you to make sure noone
is
within
the safety zone.
WARNING:
Sometimes
branches
or grass get caught
between
the
guard and cutting
attachment,
Always
stop the engine before
c eaning,
Basic working techniques
• Always
slow the engine to idle speed after
each working
operation.
Long periods at
full throttle without
any load on the engine
can lead to serious
engine damage.
