■ Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife
where the machine is to be used. Wildlife
may be injured by the machine during
operation.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the
machine is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other
foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
■ Before using the machine, always
visually inspect to see that the cutter or
blade and the cutter or blade assembly
are not damaged. Damaged parts increase
the risk of injury.
■ Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Improperly tightened blade
securing nuts or bolts may either damage the
blade or result in it becoming detached.
■ Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the cutting line or blade.
■ While operating the machine, always
wear non-slip and protective footwear.
Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. This
reduces the chance of injury to the feet from
contact with the moving cutters or lines.
■ While operating the machine, always
wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases
the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
■ Keep bystanders away while operating
the machine. Thrown debris can result in
serious personal injury.
■ Always use two hands when operating
the machine. Holding the machine with
both hands will avoid loss of control.
■ Hold the machine by the insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the
cutting line or blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the machine "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
■ Always keep proper footing and operate
the machine only when standing on
the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the
machine.
■ Do not operate the machine on
excessively steep slopes. This reduces
the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling
which may result in personal injury.

■ When working on slopes, always be
sure of your footing, always work across
the face of slopes, never up or down
and exercise extreme caution when
changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
■ Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutter, line or blade when the machine is
operating. Before you start the machine,
make sure the cutter, line or blade is
not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating the machine may
result in injury to yourself or others.
■ Do not operate the machine above waist
height. This helps prevent unintended cutter
or blade contact and enables better control
of the machine in unexpected situations.
■ When cutting brush or saplings that
are under tension, be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released, the brush or sapling may strike the
operator and/ or throw the machine out of
control.
■ Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material may
catch the blade and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
■ Maintain control of the machine and do
not touch cutters, lines or blades and
other hazardous moving parts while
they are still in motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving parts.
■ Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
■ Only use replacement cutters, lines,
cutting heads and blades specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts
may increase the risk of breakage and injury.
■ When clearing jammed material or
servicing the machine, make sure the
switch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected starting of the
machine while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
