the petrol brush cutter. Contact your local
governmental agency for information regarding
minimum age requirements for operating the
petrol brush cutter.
3. Never mow in the direct vicinity of persons -
especially children - or animals.
Warning:
Maintain a safety distance of 15m. If approached,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Always keep in mind that the machine operator
or user is responsible for accidents involving
other persons and/or their property.
Preliminary measures
1. Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
2. Check the grounds on which the machine will be
used and remove all objects that could be caught
up and violently flung out.
3. Warning: Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:
- Only store petrol in containers designed to hold
petroleum-based liquids.
- Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke
during the refueling process.
- Always refuel before starting the engine. Do not
open fuel tank cap and do not refuel when the
engine is running or when the motor is hot.
- If fuel has overflowed, do not under any
circumstances attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the machine from the affected
area. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel
fumes have completely evaporated.
- For safety reasons, the fuel tank and other tank
closures must be replaced if they are damaged.
4. Replace defective silencers.
5. Before using the brush cutter, visually inspect it
to ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the
entire cutting apparatus are in good working
order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To prevent
any imbalance, replace worn out or damaged
blades and mounting bolts as a set only (if
applicable).
Handling
1. Wear close fitting, tough work clothing that
will provide protection, such as long slacks or
trousers, safety work shoes, heavy duty work
gloves, hard hat, a safety face shield, or safety
glasses for eye protection and a good grade of
ear plugs or other sound barriers for hearing
protection.
2. Store in a safe place. Open fuel cap slowly to
release any pressure which may have formed in
fuel tank. To prevent a fire hazard, move at
least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling area before
starting.
3. Turn unit off before setting it down.
4. Always hold unit firmly with both hands, the
thumb and fingers encircling the handles.
