or when wearing open toe sandals. Avoid wearing damaged clothing which is too loose or
has hanging straps or ribbons. Loose clothing parts can be caught by the tool's moving parts
which can lead to injuries.
Carefully check the area where the tool will be operated and remove any objects which could
get into the tool. Caught objects can cause damage to the tool, or can be ejected at high
speed, which poses a threat to the operator and the environment.
Always check the blades, bolts and the blades' assembly equipment for wear or damage be-
fore use. Replace worn-out or damaged parts in sets to maintain balance. Replace damaged
or illegible plates.
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 inclined slopes.
Pay special attention when reversing or pulling the tool towards you.
Turn off the drive of the cutting element 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. at-
tached guards.
Switch on the engine carefully in accordance with the instructions, paying attention to wheth-
er your feet are away from the cutting element.
Do not tilt the tool when starting the engine, 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 engine running.
Stop the tool and disconnect from the power supply. Make sure that all moving parts are not
in motion.
Stop the tool and make sure that all moving parts have stopped:
- 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.
