[. . . ] If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use. A tree that is under tension may spring back to its normal position before or after being cut. If you position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause serious personal injury. Basic safety rules 6 7 Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. Hold the machine on the right side of your body. 1 • • Look around you: To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine. To ensure that people, animals, etc. , do not come into contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that are thrown out by the cutting attachment. Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident. Remove all loose objects, such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string, etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped around the cutting attachment. Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc. ) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground. • 2 3 8 9 Keep the cutting attachment below waist level. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance. 4 10 Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight. English – 21 WORKING TECHNIQUES The ABC of clearing • • • • • • • • Always use the correct equipment. Machines fitted with saw blades or grass blades can be thrown violently to the side when the blade comes into contact with a fixed object. A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the machine snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. Avoid cutting with the area of the blade between the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions. Because of the speed of rotation of the blade, blade thrust can occur if you attempt to cut thick stems with this area of the blade. • Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there are stones, hollows etc. [. . . ] **HUV 2 Year or 2, 000 Hour Powertrain (The engine assembly, unitized transaxle assembly (gasoline vehicle), motor, and main frame assembly are warranted with respect to parts and labor against defects in material and workmanship or a period of two years or 2000 hours of operation, whichever first occurs, from the date of purchase. ) & 1 Year or 1, 000 Hour Body Warranty (All remaining components of the vehicle not specified otherwise and all other original equipment options and accessories supplied by Husqvarna are warranted with respect to parts and labor against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year or 1000 hours of operation, whichever first occurs, from the date of purchase. ) HUV s Gas & Diesel Powered Battery: 0 – 6 months free replacement and 7 – 12 months prorated HUV s Electric Powered – 4 year or 16, 000 Energy Unit Limited Warranty Period ***Husqvarna safety apparel warranty is from the date of the customer s original purchase for defects in material and workmanship.
