Intended use of the machine
● This equipment is only intended for cutting grass, weeds, bushes, undergrowth.
It should not be used for any other purpose such as edging or hedge cutting

Personal protective equipment
● The clothing worn should be functional and appropriate, i.e. it should be tight-
tting but not cause hindrance. Do not wear either jewelry or clothing which
could become entangled with bushes or shrubs.
● In order to avoid either head-, eye-, hand-or foot injuries as well as to protect
your hearing the following protective equipment and protective clothing must
be used during operation.
● Always wear a helmet where there is a risk of falling objects. The protective
helmet (1) is to be checked at regular intervals for damage and is to be replaced
at the latest after 5 years. Use only approved protective helmets.
● The visor (2) of the helmet (or alternatively goggles) protects the face from
ying debris and stones. During operation always wear goggles, or a visor to
prevent eye injuries.
● Wear adequate noise protection equipment to avoid hearing impairment (ear
muffs (3), ear plugs etc.).
● The work overalls (4) protect against ying stones and debris.
We strongly recommend that the user wears work overalls.
● Gloves (5) are part of the prescribed equipment and must always be worn
during operation.
● When using the equipment, always wear sturdy shoes (6) with a non-slip sole.
This protects against injuries and ensures a good footing.
Starting up the brushcutter
● 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.
● Before use always check the equipment is safe for operation:
Check the security of the cutting tool, the throttle lever for easy action and
check for proper functioning of the throttle lever lock.
● Rotation of the cutting tool during idling speed is not allowed. Check with your
dealer for adjustment if in doubt. Check for clean and dry handles and test the
function of the start/stop switch.

Start the brushcutter only in accordance with the instructions.
● Do not use any other methods for starting the engine!
● Use the brushcutter and the tools only for such applications as specied.
● Only start the engine, after the entire assembly is done. Operation of the device
is only permitted after all the appropriate accessories are attached!
● 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.
● The engine is to be switched off immediately in case of any engine problems.
● Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch off
the engine and inspect the cutting tool.
● Inspect the cutting tool at short regular intervals for damage (detection of
hairline cracks by means of tapping-noise test).
● If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition before continuing
work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage and the controls and safety
devices for malfunction. If there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and repair.
● Operate the equipment only with the harness attached which is to be suitably
adjusted before putting the brushcutter into operation. It is essential to adjust
the harness according to the user size to prevent fatigue occurring during use.
Never hold the cutter with one hand during use.
● During operation always hold the brushcutter with both hands.
Always ensure a safe footing.
● Operate the equipment in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust
gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of gas poisoning). Carbon
monoxide is an odorless gas.
● Switch off the engine when resting and when leaving the equipment unattended,
and place it in a safe location to prevent danger to others or damage to the
machine.
● Never put the hot brushcutter onto dry grass or onto any combustible
materials.
● Always install the approved cutting tool guard onto the equipment before
starting the engine.
Otherwise contact with the cutting tool may cause serious injury.
● All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be used
during operation.
● Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust mufer.
● Shut off the engine during transport.
● When transporting the equipment, always attach the cover to the metal blade.
● Ensure safe position of the equipment during car transportation to avoid fuel
leakage.
● When transporting, ensure that the fuel tank is completely empty.
● When unloading the equipment from the truck, never drop the Engine to the
ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.
● Except in case of emergency, never drop or cast the equipment to the ground
or this may severely damage the equipment.
Refuelling
● Shut off the engine during refuelling, keep away from open ames and do not
smoke.
● Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor. Always
wear protective gloves during refuelling. Change and clean protective clothing
at regular intervals.
● Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil contamination
(environmental protection). Clean the brushcutter immediately after fuel has
been spilt.
● Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if fuel
has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching re).
● Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely
fastened and does not leak.
● Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at least
3 meters away from the place of refuelling).
● Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground level (risk of
explosions).
● Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel stored
is not accessible to children.
● Always refuel on stable at surface to avoid fuel spillage.

Method of operation
● Only use in good light and visibility. During the winter season beware of slippery
or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
● Never cut above waist height.
● Never stand on a ladder.
● Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation.
● Never work on unstable surfaces.
● Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range.
Foreign particles may damage the cutting tool and can cause dangerous kick-
backs.
● Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working
speed.
● When using metal blades, swing the tool evenly in half-circle from right to left,
like using a scythe.
If grass or branches get caught between the cutting tool and guard, always
stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional blade rotation may
cause serious injury.
● Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take
a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
● Do not let the cutting tool touch on the ground during operation. Otherwise the
cutting tool hit an object and may result in personal injury.
● Keep the metal blade parallel with the ground during operation.
Cutting Tools
● Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand.
Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads) are suitable for trimming lawn
grass.
Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses, bushes, shrubs,
underwood, thicket, and the like.
Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and ail
blades. Otherwise serious injury may result.
● When using metal blades, avoid “Kickback” and always prepare for an
accidental kickback. See the section “Kickback”.
Kickback (blade thrust)
● Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction to a caught or bound metal blade.
Once it occurs, the equipment is thrown sideway or toward the operator at
great force and it may cause serious injury.
● Kickback occurs particularly when applying the blade segment between 12 and
2 o’clock to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger diameter.
● To avoid kickback:
– Apply the segment between 8 and 11 o’clock;
– Never apply the segment between 12 and 2 o’clock;
– Never apply the segment between 11 and 12 o’clock and between 2 and
5 o’clock, unless the operator is well trained and experienced and does it at
his/her own risk;
– Never use metal blades close to solids, such as fences, walls, tree trunks
and stones;
– Never use metal blades vertically, for such operations as edging and
trimming hedges.
Vibration
● People with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may
experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may cause
the following symptoms to occur in the ngers, hands or wrists: “Falling asleep”
(numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin color or of the
skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!
● To reduce the risk of “white nger disease”, keep your hands warm during
operation and well maintain the equipment and accessories.
Maintenance instructions
● Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center, always using
only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor maintenance can
shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of accidents.
● The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutting tool of the protective
devices and also of the harness must be checked before commencing work.
Particular attention is to be paid to the metal blades which must be correctly
sharpened.
● Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connector when replacing or
sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.
