SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Personal protective equipment

WARNING:
Whenever you use a
clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer
you must wear personal protective
equipment that is approved by the
authorities. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk
of accidents, but it can reduce the ef-
fects of an injury in the event of an
accident. Ask your dealer for help
when choosing protective 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.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary,
e.g., when fitting cutting attachments.
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
standard ANSI Z87.1.
BOOTS
Wear sturdy, non- -slip boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and
avoid loose clothing that can catch on
twigs and branches. Always wear heavy,
long pants. Do not wear jewelry, shorts
sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is
above shoulder level.

FIRST AID KIT

Machine's safety equipment

This section describes the machine's safe-
ty equipment, its purpose, and how checks
and maintenance should be carried out to
ensure that it operates correctly. See the
"Know your trimmer " section to locate
where this equipment is positioned on your
machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced
and the risk of accidents can increase if
machine maintenance is not carried out
correctly and if service and/or repairs are not
carried out professionally. If you need further
information please contact your nearest ser-
vicing dealer.
WARNING:
Never use a machine
that has faulty safety equipment!
Carry out the inspection, mainte-
nance and service routines listed in
this section.
Stop switch
Make sure the engine stops when you push
and hold the stop switch.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose ob-
jects from being thrown towards the opera-
tor. The guard also protects the operator
from accidental contact with the cutting at-
tachment.
WARNING:
Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on "Technical
data". If an incorrect or faulty guard
is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
