Look out for thrown objects. Always use approved
eye protection and keep away from the cutting
attachment guard. Stones and other small objects
can eject into your eyes and cause blindness or
other injuries.
•
Do not put the product down with the engine on
unless you have it in clear view.
•
Do not remove the cut material, or let other persons
remove cut material, while the engine is on or the
cutting equipment rotates, as this can result in
serious injury.

The bevel gear can get hot during use and may
remain so for a while afterwards. You could get burnt
if you touch it.
•
Always stop the engine and make sure that the
cutting equipment does not rotate before you remove
material that is wound around the blade shaft or
caught between the guard and the cutting
attachment. The cutting equipment continues to
rotate even after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped
completely and disconnect the spark plug cap before
you start to work on it.

show in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.

and adjusted.

If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact
your dealer or your service workshop.
