5.2 Personal safety
▪ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do
not use a tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when operating a tool may result in serious personal injury.
▪ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
▪ Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the tool. A spanner or key left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
▪ Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable
you retain control over the tool in unexpected situations.
▪ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from the tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in
the moving parts.
▪ Inspect the entire machine for loose parts (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) and any damage.
Repair or replace as necessary before using the machine.

our company. Serious injury to the operator or bystanders could result as well as damage

▪ The blade guard and front handle guard is very important to the machine. It must be
screwed up on the machine before the initial use. These guards must always be fixed
when operating the machine. Check these guards before each use. If any damage (crack,
break, etc.) on the guard, contact with your dealer for replacing it.
▪ If use of non-conformant replacement guards, or remove or modify these guards could
result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
