General safety instructions
WARNING. Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in fire and/or serious injury.
Save these instructions
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
f) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
3) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Turn tool off completely before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
5
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
4) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Additional safety rules for petrol brush cutters
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas
include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes,
leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,
smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
• Protect your tool. This brush cutter is NOT
WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct
sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or
high humidity conditions.
• Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially
dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.
• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the brush
cutter ensure that the motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite on
the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is running.
• Be careful where you store the brush cutter. Store the
brush cutter in a dry area away from flammable liquids.
• Keep your distance. The brush cutter emits exhaust
fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.
• Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40
parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke oil. If not, the engine
will overheat and cause damage to your brush cutter.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your petrol brush cutter is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
