1.3. STARTING UP THE TOOL
9 Make sure that there are no children or other people within a working range of 15 meters (50 ft), also pay attention to any animals in
the working vicinity. Otherwise stop using the tool.
9 Before use always check that the tool is safe for operation. Check the security of the cutting tool and the guard and the switch trigger/
lever for easy and proper action. Check for clean and dry handles and test the on/o function of the switch.
9 Check damaged parts before further use of the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may aect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by our authorized service centre unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
9 Switch on the motor only when hands and feet are away from the cutting tool.
9 Before starting make sure that the cutting tool has no contact with hard objects such as branches, stones etc. as the cutting tool will
revolve when starting.
9 Make sure there are no electrical cables, water pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.
1.4. METHOD OF OPERATION
8 DO NOT operate the machine with damaged guards or without the guards in place.

HAND ARM VIBRATION
WARNING! – RISK OF HAND ARM VIBRATION INJURY
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): 2.75m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 1.5m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a dierent average vibration emission. We recommend
that a specic evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sucient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm
Vibration Syndrome.
HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can
be modied accordingly.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sucient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm
and dry and maintain good blood circulation in ngers etc. Please note that the most eective protection is prevention, please refer
to the correct use and maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be
found on the HSE website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
