Preparation
Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers when working. Do not operate the tool barefoot
or when wearing open toe sandals. Avoid wearing damaged clothing which is too loose or
has hanging straps or ribbons. Loose clothing parts can be caught by the tool's moving parts
which can lead to injuries.
Carefully check the area where the tool will be operated and remove any objects which could
get into the tool. Caught objects can cause damage to the tool, or can be ejected at high
speed, which poses a threat to the operator and the environment.
Always check the blades, bolts and the blades' assembly equipment for wear or damage be-
fore use. Replace worn-out or damaged parts in sets to maintain balance. Replace damaged
or illegible plates.
Inspect the power supply cord and extension cord for damage or wear before use. If the cord
is damaged during use, disconnect it from the direct power supply. DO NOT TOUCH THE
CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY. Do not use the tool if the cord
is defective or damaged.
Operation
Work only in daylight or in good artifi cial lighting. Improper lighting of the workplace can lead
to accidents.
When on a slope, always make sure your feet are set fi rmly.
Walk, never run.
Work across the slopes, never up or down. This will make control of the tool much easier.
Take special care when changing driving direction on a slope.
Do not work on excessively declined slopes.
Pay special attention when reversing or pulling the tool towards you.
Turn off the drive of the cutting element(s) if the tool must be tilted when moving it on surfaces
other than the workplace and when transported to and from the workplace.
Do not use the tool with damaged guards or housings and without a safety device, e.g. At-
tached guards.
Switch on the motor carefully in accordance with the instructions, paying attention to whether
your feet are away from the cutting element.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the motor, except when it requires tilting during starting. In
this case, do not tilt more than necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
Keep your hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Do not move the tool with the motor running.
Stop the tool and pull the plug from the socket. Make sure that all moving parts are not in motion.
Stop the machine and make sure that all moving parts are stationary:
- every time you step away from the tool;
- before checking, cleaning or repairing the tool;
- after it being hit by a foreign object. Check that the tool is not damaged and, if necessary,
repair it before restarting and operating.
If the tool starts to vibrate excessively (check immediately):
- check for damage;
