• Use your right hand to control the throttle
trigger/power trigger.
• Listen out for warning signals or shouts
when you wear hearing protection. Always
remove your hearing protection as soon as
the engine/motor stops.
• If the cutting attachment is attached to a
battery power unit, the front guard must be
installed.
• Make sure that your hands and feet do not
come near the cutting attachment when
the engine/motor is on.
• When the engine/motor is switched off,
keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting attachment until it has stopped fully.
• Always keep the cutting attachment near
the ground.
• Always do edging at full throttle/speed.
• Do not tilt when starting the engine or
switching on the motor, unless the product
has to be tilted for starting. In this case,
do not tilt the product more than necessary
and lift only the part which is away from the
operator.
• Always slow the engine/motor to idle
speed after each work operation. Long
periods at full throttle/speed without any
load on the engine/motor (i.e without
the resistance that the cutting attachment
exerts on the engine/motor when you are
using the product) can lead to serious
engine/motor damage.
• Be especially careful when you pull the
product towards you during work.
• If any object is hit or if vibrations occur
stop the product immediately. If you have
a gasoline operated product, remove the
spark plug cap from the spark plug. If you
have a battery operated product, remove
the battery. Check that the product is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
• Sometimes grass or stones can get
trapped in the cutting attachment guard
and cutting attachment. Always stop the
engine/motor before you clean it.
Blade thrust causes and related
warnings
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the machine and position your arms to
resist blade thrust. Position your body to
the left side of the machine. Blade thrust
can increase the risk of injury due to
the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade
thrust can be controlled by the operator if
proper precautions are taken.
• If the blade binds, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch the machine
off and hold the machine motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. While the blade is binding,
never attempt to remove the machine from
the material or pull the machine backward
while the blade is in motion, otherwise
blade thrust may occur. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt
or damaged blades increase the risk of
jamming or catching on an object, resulting
in blade thrust.
• Always maintain good visibility of the
material being cut. Blade thrust is more
likely to occur in areas where it is difficult
to see the material being cut.
• If you are approached by another person
while operating the machine, switch the
machine off. There is an increased risk of
injury to other persons being struck by the
moving blade in the event of blade thrust.
