Safety instructions after completing work
• The transport guard should always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.
• Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Disconnect the battery.

cutting attachment.
The blades are very sharp and
can easily cause cuts.
