with any obstacles.

Operational safety instructions for the cutting

blade

Preparation

■ The cutting blade ﬂings objects and soil with great force. These can

blind or cause other injuries. Wear eye, face and leg protection. Always

remove objects from the work area before using the cutting blade.

■ The cutting blade continues running after the throttle lever has been

released. A running-down cutting blade can inﬂict cuts to yourself or

other people standing nearby. Turn the engine oﬀ and make sure that

the cutting blade has come to a complete stop before performing any

work on the cutting blade.

Personal safety

■ The appliance can blind and cause injuries to bystanders. Maintain a

minimum distance of 15 metres in all directions between the appliance

and other people or animals.

Use and handling

■ Do not use the appliance if any of the cutting blade accessories have

not been properly installed.

■ The cutting blade can kick back from objects with force. This can cause

injuries to your arms and legs. If the appliance comes into contact with

a foreign body, immediately shut down the engine and wait until the

cutting blade has come to a complete stop. Check the cutting blade for

damage. Always replace the cutting blade if it is bent or cracked.
