– Never attempt to modify the controls
or the safety devices in any way.
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
– Adjust straps and loop handle to suit
your height and reach – see chapter
on "Fitting the Backpack".
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
do not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled.
For emergencies: Practise quickly
opening the fastener on the waist belt,
loosening the shoulder straps and
setting down the unit.
Starting the Engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Select firm ground in an open area.
Make sure you have good balance and
secure footing. Power tool on your back.
The cutting attachment must be clear of
the ground and all other obstructions
because it may begin to run when the
engine starts.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons within 15 meters of
your own position – even when starting.
Start the engine only as described in the
instruction manual.
Check idle speed setting: The cutting
attachment must not rotate when the
engine is idling with the throttle trigger
released.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
Holding and Controlling the Power
Tool
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Carry the powerhead on your back.
Always hold the drive tube firmly with
both hands on the handles – right hand
on control handle and left hand on loop
handle – and always keep the drive tube
on the right side of your body – left-
handers, too.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ stop switch to STOP or 0.
To reduce the risk of personal injury ,
do not allow any other persons within a
radius of 15 meters of your own position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the cutting
attachment stops rotating when you let
go of the throttle trigger. Check and
correct the idle speed setting at regular
intervals. If the cutting attachment still
rotates at idle speed, have your dealer
make proper adjustments or repairs.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven
ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Never work on a ladder or in a tree.
Never operate your unit with one hand.
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the cutting attachment.
Note that the cutting
attachment continues to
run for a short period
after you let go of the
throttle trigger – fly-
wheel effect.
