SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective safety
equipment. Follow the control,
maintenance and service instructions
described in this section.
1. Throttle trigger
lock
The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. When the
trigger lock (A) is pressed
into the handle (= when you
hold the handle) the throttle
(B) is released. When the
grip on the handle is
released the throttle and the
throttle trigger lock return
to their original positions.
This takes place via two
independent return spring
systems. This means that the
throttle is automatically
locked in its “idling“
position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Incorrect or careless use of a clearing saw,
brushcutter or trimmer can turn it into a dangerous
tool that can cause serious or even fatal injury to
the operator or others. It is extremely important
that you read and understand the content of this
manual.
• When using a clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer,
protective equipment approved by the appropriate
authorities must be used. Personal protective
equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents,
however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in
the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help
when choosing protective equipment.
HELMET
A helmet should be worn if
trees to be cleared are higher
than 2 metres.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection offering
sufficient dampening effect
should be used.
EYE PROTECTION
Blows from branches or
objects thrown by the
rotating cutting equipment
can damage the eyes.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn
when necessary, e.g., when
assembling cutting
equipment.
BOOTS

boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a
strong fabric and avoid loose
clothing that can catch on
shrubs and branches. Always
wear heavy-duty long pants.
Do not wear jewellery,
shorts, sandals or go
