• NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of calling
for help in the event of an accident.
Safety instruction while working

both hands. Hold the
machine to the right of the
body.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This section takes up the basic safety precautions for
working with the edger.
• If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your
dealer or your service workshop.
• Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.
2. Avoid usage in
unfavourable weather
conditions. For example,
thick fog, heavy rain,
strong winds or extreme
cold, etc. To work in bad
weather conditions is tiring
and can create dangerous
circumstances, e.g.
slippery surfaces.
3. Make sure you can walk
and stand safely. Look out
for any obstacles with
unexpected movement
(roots, stones, branches,
pits, ditches, etc.). Take
great care when working
on sloping ground.
4. The engine should be
switched off before
moving.
5. Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have good sight of it.
• Always keep the blade close to the ground.
• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.
Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from
the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious
engine damage.
• Be especially careful when pulling the edger towards you
during work.
• If heavy vibrations occur, stop the engine. Remove the spark
plug cable from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
WARNING!
Sometimes grass can collect in the blade
guard and blade. Always stop the engine
when cleaning.
!
WARNING!
Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the blade guard.
Stones rubbish etc. can be thrown up into the
eyes resulting in blindness or other serious
injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be outside the safety zone of 15
meters (50 feet). Stop the machine immedi-
ately if anyone approaches.
The bevel gear unit can get hot during use
and may remain so for a while afterwards.
There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it.
