WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting attachment above waist height.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
As soon as the engine is
running, this product
generates toxic exhaust
fumes containing
chemicals, such as
unburned hydrocarbons
(including benzene) and carbon
monoxide, that are known to cause
respiratory problems, cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some of the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be colorless and
odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injury / illness from inhaling toxic
fumes, never run the machine indoors or
in poorly ventilated locations.
WARNING
If the vegetation being cut or the
surrounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompanied the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of EPA / OSHA /
NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations with respect to dust
("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH /
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle position, as you do not
have control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, shut off
the engine immediately – move the
momentary stop switch to STOP.
WARNING
The cutting attachment
continues to rotate for a
short period after the
throttle trigger is released
(flywheel effect.
WARNING
The rotating cutting attachment may
fling foreign objects directly or by
ricochet a great distance.
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
always wear proper eye protection (see
the chapter on "Proper Clothing") and
ensure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. To reduce the risk
of damage to property, also maintain this
distance from such objects as vehicles
or windows. Any coworkers who must be
in the restricted area should also wear
goggles or protective glasses. Stop the
engine immediately if you are
approached.
WARNING
Before you start work,
examine the area for
stones, glass, fence
wire, metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could
throw objects of this kind.
WARNING
This clearing saw is normally to be used
at ground level with the cutting
attachment parallel to the ground. Use of
a clearing saw above ground level or
with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground may
increase the risk of injury, since the
