Working with the cutting
blade (depending on model)
Before operating the unit, please

read all safety instructions
carefully.
Always keep the hand grip

between user and cutting
attachment.
Never cut material if the cutting

blade is 75 cm or higher above
ground level.
The unit may recoil if the rotating

blade strikes an object which
cannot be cut immediately.
Recoils may be strong enough
to throw the unit and/or user
in any direction and may cause
the user to lose control of the
unit. Recoils may occur without
warning if the blade gets caught,
jams or locks. This can easily
happen in areas in which the
material to be cut is difficult
to see.
Never use the undergrowth blade

to cut undergrowth thicker than
12.7 mm. Otherwise, violent
recoils may occur.
When using the cutting blade,

the cutting attachment cover
must always be attached.
Do not attempt to touch or stop

the blade while it is rotating.

injuries, even when the engine

throttle has been released.
Hold the unit firmly until the blade

Do not run the engine at high

speed when it is not cutting.
