 Use only for jobs explained in this manual or

manuals for optional attachments.

 Never put the machine down with the engine running

or while the cutting attachment is rotating.

 Always slow the engine to idle speed after each

working operation. Long periods at full throttle

without any load on the engine can lead to serious

engine damage.

 Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone

else may attempt to remove the cut material while

the engine is running or the cutting equipment is

rotating, as this can result in serious injury. Stop

the engine and cutting equipment and disconnect

the spark plug cap from the spark plug before you

remove material that has wound around the blade

shaft as otherwise there is a risk of injury.

 The bevel gear can get hot during use and may

remain so for a while afterwards. Allow time to cool.

You could get burned if you touch it.

 Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear approved

eye protection. Never lean over the cutting

attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be

thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious

injury.

animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept

outside the safety zone of 15 metres. Stop the

machine immediately if anyone approaches. Never
