• The string head will rotate during carburettor
adjustments and engine starting.
• It has been reported, in certain individuals, that
vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the ngers,
usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to
the development of these symptoms. It is presently
unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure
may contribute to the condition. There are measures
that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce
the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating the unit, wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is
a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
d) Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened
and worn parts replaced.
• If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
7
• Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol
clearly identied as 2-stroke.
• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or ames.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 10m (30ft.) away from
the refuelling site before starting the engine.
• Stop the engine and allow to cool before refuelling or
storing the unit.
• Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank and
secure the unit from moving before transporting in a
vehicle.
• Replace the string head if cracked, chipped, or
damaged in any way. Be sure the string head is
properly installed and securely fastened. Failure to do
so can cause serious injury.
• Make sure all guards, straps, and handles are properly
and securely attached.
• Use only the manufacturer’s replacement string in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
To install any other brand of cutting head to this string
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
