Operate the power tool only at a normal
walking pace.
Be extremely cautious when changing
direction with the power tool – especially
on slopes.
Working Conditions
Start and operate your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
Information on the routing of cables can
be obtained from public utilities and such
service providers as "Miss Utility" or
"One Call."
Operating Instructions
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
Warning!
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions
(wet ground, snow) and in difficult, over-
grown terrain. Watch for hidden
obstacles such as tree stumps, roots
and ditches to avoid stumbling. For bet-
ter footing, clear away scrub and
cuttings. Be extremely cautious when
working on slopes or uneven ground.
Warning!
To avoid the risk of injury from contact
with the rotating attachment, be
extremely cautious when pulling the
power tool toward you.
Warning!
To avoid the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on steep slopes.
Warning!
If the soil being worked on or the sur-
rounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompany the substance at issue.
Warning!
Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic
dusts such as mold or
pollen, can cause sus-
ceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic
reaction. Substantial or repeated inhala-
tion of dust and other airborne
contaminants, in particular those with a
smaller particle size, may cause respira-
tory 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 proc-
ess 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 ("par-
ticulate matter"). When the inhalation of
dust cannot be substantially controlled,
i.e., kept at or near the ambient (back-
ground) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
of dust encountered.
Danger!
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, ensure
that there are no power
cables near the surface
or in the working area that could come
into contact with the MultiTool. Damag-
ing such cables with the tool can cause
electric shocks with serious or fatal
consequences.
Warning!
Use the power tool at ground level only.
The risk of injury is increased if you use
MultiTools above ground level because
they are more exposed and the power
tool is more difficult to control.
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using
the starting throttle lock, as you do not
have control of the engine speed.
Warning!
The MultiTool continues to rotate for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
