GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English – 9
Quick release (Balance Flex harness)
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the
front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches
fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free
yourself from the machine and harness.
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned.
Once the harness and machine have been adjusted,
check that the harness quick release works correctly.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how you can achieve maximum
clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting
attachment through correct maintenance and using the
right type of cutting attachment.
• Check the cutting equipment with regard to damage
and crack formation. Damaged cutting equipment
should always be replaced.
• Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
• Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly
sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the
recommended file gauge.
A damaged or badly
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
• Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended raker
gauge.
Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and
properly maintained!
A poorly lubricated chain is
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the
bar, chain and drive sprocket.
!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
!
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
faulty safety equipment. The machine’s
safety equipment must be checked and
maintained as described in this section.
If your machine fails any of these checks
contact your service agent to get it
repaired.
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine
before doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has
stopped completely and disconnect the
HT lead from the spark plug before you
start to work on it.
