Work Area Safety; Basic Working Techniques; Transport And Storage - KLIPPO ES 03 B Manuel D'utilisation

Work area safety

• Objects hitting against the cutting attachment could
be thrown and cause damage to people and objects.
Keep people and animals well away.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
• Only use the machine in daylight or in other well-lit
conditions.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Beware of roots, stones, twigs, pits, ditches etc. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
• On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work
up and down it.
• Be careful when you are approaching hidden corners
and objects that could block your view.
Work safety
• Only use the machine for the purpose it was intended
for.
• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading "Personal protective equipment".
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• The engine must be switched off before moving.
• The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a
short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is
hot! Never use a machine without a muffler, or with a
faulty muffler.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from
the spark plug. Check that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.

Basic working techniques

• The forward speed depends on how much downwards
pressure you apply to the handle. Heavy pressure
makes the cultivator move slowly forward. Little
pressure increases the speed.
• PS 045 H The right clutch handle starts the forward
drive and the left clutch handle starts the reverse
drive.

OPERATING
• The cutting depth is adjusted with the cutting depth
adjuster. The deeper you set the adjuster, the deeper
the cutter will work.
• The machine is not suitable for machining earth
covered by thick grass or earth with a lot of stones in it.
• PS 045 H The plant-protection discs allow you to work
close to plants without damaging them.

Transport and storage

• The transport wheels are to be used when moving the
machine.
• Secure the equipment during transportation in order
to avoid transport damage and accidents.
• Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out
of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
• Store the machine and its equipment in a dry and frost
proof place.
• For transport and storage of fuel, see the section
"Fuel handling".
