GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important

IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed
for trimming grass, grass clearing and/or
forestry clearing.
The only accessories you can operate with
this engine unit are the cutting attachments we
recommend in the section on Technical data.
Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medi-
cation that could affect your vision, your judge-
ment or your co- -ordination.
Never use the machine in extreme weather
conditions such as severe cold, very hot and/
or humid climates.
Wear personal protective equipment. See in-
structions under the heading Personal protec-
tive equipment.
Never use a machine that has been modified
in any way from its original specification.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out
the checks, maintenance and service instruc-
tions described in this manual. Some mainte-
nance and service measures must be carried
out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
All covers and guards must be fitted before
starting. Make sure the spark plug cap and
lead are not damaged. Otherwise you could
get an electric shock. The machine operator
must ensure that no people or animals come
closer than 50 feet (15 meters) while working.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
safety glasses. Stop the machine immediate-
ly if anyone should approach. When several
operators are working in the same area, the
safety distance should be at least 50 feet (15
meters).
WARNING:
Using an incorrect
cutting attachment or an incorrectly
filed blade can increase the risk of
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING:
Never allow children
to use or be in the vicinity of the
machine. As the machine is equipped
with a spring- - loaded stop switch and
can be started by low speed and
force on the starter handle, even
small children under some circum-
stances can produce the force neces-
sary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal inju-
ry. Therefore remove the spark plug
cap when the machine is not under
close supervision.

Personal protective equipment

WARNING:
A clearing saw,
brushcutter or trimmer, if used in-
correctly or carelessly, can cause
serious or fatal injury to the operator
or others. It is extremely important
that you read and understand the
contents of this operator's manual.
You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you
use the machine. Personal protect-
ive equipment cannot eliminate the
risk of injury but it will reduce the
degree of injury if an accident does
happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
IMPORTANT! Listen for warning signals
or shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
HELMET
A helmet should be worn if the brush being
cleared is taller than 6 feet (2 meters).
HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection that provides
adequate noise reduction.
EYE PROTECTION
Always wear approved eye protection. If
you use a visor then you must also wear
approved protective goggles. Approved
protective goggles must comply with stan-
dard ANSI Z87.1.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary,
e.g., when fitting cutting attachments.
BOOTS
Wear sturdy, non- -slip boots.
