CAUTION · PLEASE READ 

For safety reasons, it is imperative that you read these 
operating instructions before using the appliance. Seri-
ous injuries could result if these instructions are not 
followed. You must therefore dedicate a few minutes to 
studying your new power tool and its instructions be-
fore each use. 

1.1 

Safety instructions for hand-operated 
petrol power scythe 

Read the directions with due care. Familiarize yourself 
with the settings and proper operation of the machine. 

Never allow children or other persons who are not 
familiar with the operating instructions to use the petrol 
power scythe. Contact your local governmental agency 
for information regarding minimum age requirements 
for operating the petrol power scythe. 

Never mow in the direct vicinity of persons -especially 
children - or animals. 

Maintain a safety distance of 15m. If ap-
proached, switch off the appliance immedi-
ately. Always keep in mind that the machine 
operator or user is responsible for accidents 
involving other persons and/or their property. 

1.2 Preliminary 

measures 

−

Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long 
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in 
sandals. 

−

Check the grounds on which the machine will be 
used and remove all objects that could be caught 
up and violently flung out. 

Warning: Petrol is highly flammable! 

−

Only store petrol in containers designed to hold 
petroleum-based liquids 

−

Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke 
during the refueling process. 

−

Always refuel before starting the engine. Do not 
open fuel tank cap and do not refuel when the en-
gine is running or when the scythe is hot. 

−

If petrol has overflowed, do not under any circum-
stances attempt to start the engine. Instead, re-
move the machine from the affected area. Avoid 
starting the engine until the petrol fumes have 
completely evaporated. 

−

For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank 
closures must be replaced if they are damaged. 

−

Replace defective mufflers. 

−

Before using the scythe, visually inspect it to en-
sure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire 
cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e. 
not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-
ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and 
mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).

hard hat, a safety face shield, or safety glasses 
for eye protection and a good grade of ear plugs 
or other sound barriers for hearing protection.
