secure covered hair above shoulder level.
Do not use electric or battery operated units in rain or
damp weather.
When transporting or storing the machine always fit
with blade cover.
Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert
for possible hazards that you may not hear due to the
noise of the machine.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before

Never attempt to use an incomplete machine or one
fitted whith an unauthorised modification.
The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used.
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations
or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is
a major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
physician about these symptoms.
