Work safety
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Use this product to cut grass lawns only. It is not
permitted to use it for other tasks.
• Use personal protective equipment. Refer to
Personal protective equipment on page 5 .
• Make sure that you know how to stop the engine
quickly in an emergency.
• Never start the engine in a closed space or near
flammable material. The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and can contain sparks which can
start a fire.
• Do not operate the product unless the blade and all
covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly
attached blade can come loose and cause personal
injury.
• Make sure that the blade does not hit objects such
as stones and roots. This can do damage to the
blade and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle causes
heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade
becomes loose.
• If the blade hits an object or if vibrations occur, stop
the product immediately. Disconnect the ignition
cable from the spark plug. Examine the product for
damages. Repair damages or let an authorised
service agent do the repair.

to the handle when the engine is started.

Make sure that the blade does not hit the ground or
other objects.

hands on the handle when you operate the product.

blades.
