Grip the power tool by the carrying handle with the attachment facing forward. WARNING When transporting it in a vehicle, properly secure it to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the unit. Before Starting WARNING Always check your power tool for proper condition and operation before starting. Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices. WARNING Never operate your power tool if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely or securely assembled. Unfold the bike handle into the working position and secure it with the knob (see chapter "Adjusting the bicycle handle" of your MultiEngine instruction manual.) Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix, 469BA001 KN grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from the MultiTool rotating in the wrong direction, check that the position of the gearbox is correct and change it if necessary. On metal tools (top illustration), position the gearbox so that the shaft is below the drive tube. Use for: - BF-MM cultivator blades with pointed tines - BK-MM cultivator blades with curved tines - FC-MM edger - RL-MM aerator - MF-MM dethatcher English WARNING The MultiTool must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (hitch pins, screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades. Replace damaged blades before using the power tool. WARNING Do not attach any MultiTool to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts may cause the attachment to fly off and seriously injure the operator or bystanders. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects and contact with the attachment, never operate your power tool without a properly mounted deflector. Check your MultiTool instruction manual to ensure you are using the appropriate deflector for the MultiTool mounted. Starting WARNING Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors only. For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your MultiEngine and MultiTool manuals. Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing. FC-MM 5
