(7), but not within the extended swing range of the cutting disc
(direction of sparks).

areas.
- Never use the Power Cut near inammable materials or
explosive gases! The Power Cut can create sparks leading
to re or explosion!

as other workers, are wearing protective gear (see "Protective
Equipment")(8).Childrenandotherunauthorizedpersonsmust
remain more than 30 meters away from the working area. Keep
an eye out for animals as well (9).
- Before starting work the Power Cut must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the pre-
scriptions. In particular, make sure that the cutting wheel is in
good condition(replace immediately if torn, damaged or bent),
the cutting wheel is properly mounted, the protective hood is
locked in place, the hand guard is properly mounted, the V-belt
has the proper tension, the throttle moves easily and the half-
throttle lock button functions properly, the grips are clean and
dry, and the combination switch functions properly (Start/Stop
(I/O) switch, choke).
- Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspec-
tion. Never use the Power Cut when it is not completely as-
sembled.
