General safety instructions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• The machine is only designed for tree pruning.
• The only accessories to be used with the
engine unit as a drive source are the cutting
units we recommend.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking
medicines that can affect your sight, your
judgement or the control of your body.
• Use personal protective equipment. See the
section
"Personal protective equipment".
• Never use a machine that has been modified so
that it no longer corresponds with the original
design.
• Never use a machine that is faulty. Follow the
maintenance, control and service instructions
in this Operator's Manual.
Some maintenance and service actions should
be carried out by trained and qualified
specialists. See the chaper
"Maintenance".
• Place the machine on the
ground and make sure that
the cutting equipment is
not in contact with
branches or stones.
Press the engine to the
ground with the left hand
(NOTE! Not with the
foot). Grip the start handle
with the right hand and
slowly pull out until a
resistance is felt (the start
hooks engage). Now give a
quick and strong pull.
Start
• Never start the engine unless the hydraulic oil has been
replenished and the hydraulic hoses are connected. Running
without hydraulic oil or without connected hoses can result
in damage to the hydraulic system.
• Never start the engine indoors. Pay attention to the danger
of inhaling toxic exhaust fumes.
• Make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming
in contact with the cutting equipment.
WARNING!
Starting with the start throttle function
connected can give an uncontrolled
activation of the cutting equipment.
WARNING!
Never touch the cutting equipment when
the engine is running.
Fuel safety
• Never fill the machine
while the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and
let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling.
• Provide good ventilation
when filling or mixing
fuel.
• Move the machine at least
3 m from the filling
position before starting.
• Never start the machine:
a) If you have spilt fuel on
it:
Wipe up all spillage.
b) If you have spilt fuel on
yourself or your clothes:
Change your clothes.
c) If there is a fuel leak:
Change damaged parts.
Make regular checks for
leakage from the fuel cap
and the fuel supply pipes.
