General safety instructions

It is necessary to read the whole guide for operation before the first use of the machine. In case of any doubts associated to the connection and operation of the machine contact the producer (service department).

TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS STRICTLY:

ATTENTION!

1. Pay attention to environmental conditions that you work in. The engine driven machine starts producing toxic gases after engine activation. These gases could be invisible and without any smell. Therefore you must never work with the machine in closed or badly ventilated areas. Provide good illumination for your work. If you cut in wet conditions, on snow or ice, in slopes or in unlevelled terrain, ensure good stability.

2. Do not let foreign persons accessing to the machine. Keep visitors and by-standers, especially children, sick or weak persons, in a safe distance from your workplace. Pay attention that other persons may not touch the machine.

3. Ensure safe storage of tools. Machine that are not in use store in a dry place at certain height if possible or lock them so that they are not accessible to other persons.
4. Use a proper tool for every work. Do not use e.g. small machines or accessories for works that should in fact be performed using heavy machines. Use machines exclusively for purposes which they were designed for.
5. Care for suitable wear. Your clothing should be purposeful and in may not constrain you in work.
6. Wear personal protective means. Wear safety shoes with steel puffs and non-skid sole.
7. Wear protective glasses. Shooting up of objects by the machine could occur.
8. Wear means for hearing protection. Wear personal means for hearing protection like ear obturators.
9. Hand protection. Wear solid gloves – good protection is provided by gloves made of chrome leather.
10. Transport. The garden cutter must be transported always with the rotary wheel in transport position. When machine is stand off pay attention that nobody could be threatened. Secure the machine against tipping over, damage and fuel leakage.
11. Remove wrenches etc. All wrenches etc. should be removed before the machine is started.
12. Stay always attentive. Pay attention to what you do. Follow your common sense when working. Do not operate engine-driven machines when tired. Do not operate the engine being under influence of alcohol, drugs or medicaments that aggravate the ability to concentrate.
13. Refilling the fuel. Before refuelling it is always necessary to stop the engine. Open the tank cover always carefully to allow the over-pressure ventilate slowly to avoid squirting the fuel. When working with the machine high temperatures are generated at the machine body so let the machine cooled down before refuelling otherwise fuel ignition could occur resulting in serious burns. Be careful not to overfill the tank when refuelling. If the fuel flows out nearby it must be removed immediately and the machine must be cleaned. Check firm settlement of screw cover after refuelling to avoid its loosening due to vibrations during operation.

Behaviour in case of emergency

Provide necessary first aid treatment corresponding to the injury nature and seek qualified medical help as soon as possible. Protect the injured person from other injuries and calm him/her down.

First aid kit must always be available in the place of your work in case of accident in accordance with DIN 13164. Material taken out of the first aid kit needs to be supplemented right away.

If help is needed, please provide the following details:

1. Place of accident
2. Accident nature
3. Number of injured persons
4. Injury type
