and that you understand and know how
to use the controls on the machine.
Fuel
•
Petrol is highly flammable and in some
situations explosive.
•
Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors or in
a well ventilated area, with the engine
switched off and at a safe distance from
sparks and naked flames. Never store fuel
where there can be naked flames, e.g.
smoking or sparks.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check after
filling that the filler cap is properly fitted.
•
Avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel and fumes
from spilled fuel can easily ignite. Wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Other safety instructions
•
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
very hot and the exhaust system remains
hot after the engine is switched off.
Always allow the engine and the exhaust
system to cool before putting the machine
away indoors, to reduce the risk of fire
and burns.
•
Take regular breaks when working. Always
maintain a firm footing and good
balance.
•
Wear approved safety shoes with non-slip
soles and comfortable fit, tight-fitting
clothes, safety glasses, ear protection,
safety helmet and vibration-damping
gloves.
•
When working with the machine keep
other people away from the risk zone, i.e.
at least 15 metres away. Wear safety
glasses, ear protection, safety helmet,
safety shoes, leg guards, and if necessary
full body protection. Persons immediately
outside the risk zone should wear safety
glasses and suitable protection from flying
objects. The risk diminishes the further
you are away from the clearing saw.
•
The trimmer head or blade continues to
rotate for several seconds after the engine
has been switched off. Remain at a safe
distance until all moving parts have
completely stopped.
NOTE:
•
When working with a trimmer or
clearing saw there is always a risk that
small stones, pieces of metal, small
objects and the cleared material can be
thrown up.
•
Familiarise yourself with the controls on
the machine and how to use them.
Check that you can quickly switch off the
engine. Check that you can quickly open
and release the harness strap.
•
Never allow children, or anyone who is
unfamiliar with the machine and these
instructions, to use it. Keep children
under supervision to make sure they do
not play with the machine. Always wear
safety shoes, leg guards, safety glasses,
face mask and ear protection when
using the machine. Do not rely on the
guard to provide adequate protection
from objects thrown up directly from the
blade, or bouncing back from walls, etc.
Keep unauthorised persons, especially
children, and pets away from the
workplace. When working with the
machine you are in the centre of a risk
zone with a radius of 15 metres. No
persons must enter this risk zone.
Persons immediately outside the risk
zone should wear safety glasses and
suitable protection from flying objects. If
you need to use the machine in areas
where there are persons without safety
equipment, work with reduced throttle
to reduce the risk of thrown up objects
causing personal injury.
•
Check the ignition switch before use
– allow the engine to idle, put the switch
in the stop position and check that the
engine switches off. Do not use the
machine if the engine does not switch
off. Check at regular intervals that the
