Never use parts, accessories
or attachments which are not
authorised for this unit.
Otherwise, the user may be
seriously injured and the unit
damaged. In addition, your
warranty may be deemed null
and void.
Keep the unit clean and ensure
that there are no plants or other
objects caught between the
cutting attachment and guard.

Working with the cutting
blade (depending on model)
Before operating the unit, please
read all safety instructions
carefully.
Always keep the hand grip
between user and cutting
attachment.
Never cut material if the cutting
blade is 75 cm or higher above
ground level.
The unit may recoil if the rotating
blade strikes an object which
cannot be cut immediately.
Recoils may be strong enough
to throw the unit and/or user
in any direction and may cause
the user to lose control of the
unit. Recoils may occur without
warning if the blade gets caught,
jams or locks. This can easily
happen in areas in which the
material to be cut is difficult
to see.
Never use the undergrowth blade
to cut undergrowth thicker than
12.7 mm. Otherwise, violent
recoils may occur.
When using the cutting blade,
the cutting attachment cover
must always be attached.
Do not attempt to touch or stop
the blade while it is rotating.
A rotating blade may cause
injuries, even when the engine
has been switched off or the
throttle has been released.
Hold the unit firmly until the blade
has come to a standstill.
Do not run the engine at high
speed when it is not cutting.
If you strike or ensnare a foreign
object, immediately switch
off the engine and check whether
the unit has been damaged.
Have the repair damaged before
continuing to use the unit.
Do not use the unit with a bent,
cracked or blunt blade.
Throw away bent, twisted,
cracked or broken blades.
Do not sharpen the cutting blade.
The sharpened tip of the blade
may break off during operation.
This may result in serious
injuries. Replace the blade.
Only transport or store the unit
with the guard fitted on the
cutting blade.
After operating the unit
Clean the cutting blades with
a household detergent to remove
any remnants.
Lubricate the blade with machine
oil to prevent rust.
Store and lock away the blade
securely to protect it from
damage and unauthorised use.
