yourself with the settings and proper operation
of the machine.

not familiar with the operating instructions to
use the petrol power scythe. Contact your local
governmental agency for information regarding
minimum age requirements for operating the
petrol power scythe.

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.
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 scythe is hot.
- If petrol 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 petrol
fumes have completely evaporated.
For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other
tank closures must be replaced if they are
damaged.
4. Replace defective mufflers.
5. Before using the scythe, 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).
6. The powered equipment will create toxic
exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is started.
Never work in enclosed rooms or in rooms with
poor ventilation.

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.
