Check damaged parts before further use of the appliance,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform it’s intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect it’s operation.
Ensure guards are kept in place.
Always keep blade area clean.
When using the edger, stones, pieces of metal and other
objects can be thrown out at high speed by the blade.
The tool and guard are designed to reduce the danger.
However, the following special precautions should be
taken:
Wear safety glasses or other eye protection, gloves,
long pants and suitable footwear.
Make sure that other people and pets are at least 5
metres away.
Always stand to left side of main handle.
Before landscaping or Trenching, check for buried
electrical cables.
To reduce the risk of injury, work going away from
nearby solid objects such as walls, steps, stones, trees
etc. Use great care when working close to solid objects,
and where necessary, do edging or trimming by hand.
Use only blades as recommended.
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
Let the blade come to rest naturally.
Periodically check that all fixings are properly tightened.
