Operation
Work only in daylight or in good artifi cial lighting. Improper lighting of the workplace can lead to accidents.
When on a slope, always make sure your feet are set fi rmly.
Walk, never run.
Work across the slopes, never up or down. This will make control of the tool much easier.
Take special care when changing driving direction on a slope.
Do not work on excessively declined slopes.
Pay special attention when reversing or pulling the tool towards you.
Turn off the drive of the cutting element(s) if the tool must be tilted when moving it on surfaces other than the workplace and when
transported to and from the workplace.
Do not use the tool with damaged guards or housings and without a safety device, e.g. Attached guards.
Switch on the motor carefully in accordance with the instructions, paying attention to whether your feet are away from the cutting
element.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the motor, except when it requires tilting during starting. In this case, do not tilt more than
necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
Keep your hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Do not move the tool with the motor running.
Stop the tool and pull the plug from the socket. Make sure that all moving parts are not in motion.
Stop the machine and make sure that all moving parts are stationary:
- every time you step away from the tool;
- before checking, cleaning or repairing the tool;
- after it being hit by a foreign object. Check that the tool is not damaged and, if necessary, repair it before restarting and operating.
If the tool starts to vibrate excessively (check immediately):
- check for damage;
- replace or repair any damaged part;
- check and tighten any loose parts.
Maintenance and storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws in good condition to ensure safe tool operation.
In the case of multi-blade tools, be careful, as rotation of one cutting element may cause rotation of other blades.
Use caution when adjusting the tool to avoid fi ngers getting between the tool's moving blades and fi xed parts.
Always leave the tool to cool down before the next start-up, or before storing in a closed space.
Be careful when performing any work on the blades, even when the drive is switched off as the blades can still rotate. Always wait
for the blades to come to a complete stop before proceeding with any activities.
Replace worn-out or damaged parts to ensure safety of operation. Use original spare parts and equipment only.
Recommendations for class II tools
The tool must be powered by a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.
Risks related to noise and vibrations
The tool is designed to reduce the risk of exposing the user to noise and vibration as much as possible. However, it is not possible
to completely eliminate these hazards. Additionally, people in the vicinity of the operating tool are also exposed to noise hazards.
However, the risks associated with the above mentioned hazards can be reduced by observing the following guidelines:
- the product should be used in accordance with its intended purpose, described in the manual;
- make sure that the tool is in good condition and is regularly maintained;
- use proper and well-sharpened cutting tools;
- use a fi rm grip on the product handle;
- plan work so that frequent breaks can be incorporated.
Residual risks
Even if all safety precautions are followed during operation, the potential risk of injury remains. The following risks remain in
relation to the design of the product.
Vibration-related injuries caused by prolonged operation of the tool, incorrect manner of work, or work with an improperly main-
tained tool.
Injuries caused by an unexpected impact from hidden, ejected objects.
