Safety Information
Personal Safety (Continued)
•Do not touch parts that might be hot from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations. Extending your body too
far can result in a loss of balance and you may fall which will result in injury.
•Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement
should occur during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance, repairing
or moving.
•Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents, hazards or
unexpected events involving the machine that occur to other people or their
property. It is the responsibility of the user to assess the potential risk of the area
where work is being carried out. The operator or user must take all necessary
precautions to ensure their own safety and that of others, especially on slopes or
rough, slippery and unstable ground.
Inspect Your Machine
•Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
•You must check the general condition of the machine before use.
•Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel
leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.
•Do not use the machine if the machine’s switch does not turn off the machine
when running. Any machine that can’t be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be replaced.
•Regularly check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
•If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the machine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before transporting the
machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or
performing maintenance or service on a machine with its switch on invites
accidents.

Safety Information
•Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects
of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate
temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and
circulatory tissue death.
•Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and
long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note
the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome;
•Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
•Take regular breaks.
•All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule
out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended
to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if
any of the above symptoms should occur.
•The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. When wearing
protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long-term and
regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant and
cautious when wearing ear protection because your ability to hear alarm warnings will be
reduced.
•Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved
times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal
protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to wear
hearing protection.
•See Certificate of Conformity section for Outdoor Noise declaration of
conformity.

!Engine Safety
CARBON MONOXIDE IS ACOLOURLESS, ODOURLESS GAS. INHALING THIS GAS CAN CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS LONG-TERM HEALTH PROBLEMS SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE.
Never operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can develop. All ignition operations have to be effected in an open or well-ventilated
area. Always remember that exhaust fumes are toxic.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include but are not limited to the
following; Headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapsing or loss of
consciousness.
Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flu, food poisoning, viral infections
