Work safety

WARNING : Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Use the product to put boundary wire and guide wire for robotic lawn mowers into the ground. Do not use the product for other tasks.

  • Use personal protective equipment. Refer to Personal protective equipment on page 10.

  • Make sure that you know how to stop the motor quickly in an emergency.

  • Do not operate the product in rain or wet conditions. The risk of electrical shock increases if water enters the product.

  • Do not operate the product unless the drill and all covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly attached drill can come loose and cause injury.

  • Remove objects such as branches, twigs and stones from the work area before you use the product.

  • Objects that hit against the cable laying equipment can eject and cause damage to persons and objects. Keep bystanders and animals at a safe distance from the product.

  • Never use the product in bad weather such as fog, rain, strong winds, intense cold and risk of lightning. To use the product in bad weather or in moist or wet locations is tiring. Bad weather can cause dangerous conditions, such as slippery surfaces.

  • Look out for persons, objects and situations that can prevent safe operation of the product.

  • Look out for obstacles, such as roots, stones, twigs, pits and ditches. Long grass can hide obstacles.

  • Do not use the product on ground that slopes more than 15°.

  • Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Operate the product across the face of slopes. Do not move up and down.

  • Be careful when you go near hidden corners and objects that prevent a clear view.

  • Make sure that the drill does not hit objects such as stones and roots. This can do damage to the drill and bend the motor shaft. A bent motor shaft causes heavy vibration and a very high risk that the drill becomes loose.

  • If the drill hits an object or if vibrations occur,
    stop the product immediately. Stop the motor, pull up the safety key and remove the battery. Wait until moving parts stop. Examine the product for damages. Tighten loose parts. Repair damages and replace damaged parts. Let an approved service agent do the repair.

  • Do not attach the drill operation bail permanently to the handle when the motor is started.

  • Put the product on a stable, flat surface and start it.

  • Always stay behind the product when you operate it.

  • Let all the wheels stay on the ground and keep 2 hands on the handle when you operate the product.

  • Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating drill.

  • Do not tilt the product when you start the motor or during operation of the product.

  • Be careful when you pull the product rearward.

  • Do not lift up the product when the motor is started. If you must lift the product, first stop the motor, pull up the safety key and remove the battery.

  • Do not walk rearward when you operate the product.

  • Release the drill operation bail to stop the drill when it is necessary to tilt the product for transportation.

  • Do not run with the product when the motor is started. Always walk when you operate the product. Stop the motor before you change the cable laying depth. Do not make adjustments with the motor started.

  • Do not let the product stay out of view with the motor started. Stop the motor and make sure that the drill does not rotate.

  • The vibrations in the product during operation can be different from the declared vibration value in

  • Technical data on page 16. The difference is caused by variations in how the product is used.

  • If you operate the product frequently or for long periods of time, take breaks regularly to prevent injury from vibrations.

Safety instructions for operation
Read the instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Make sure that the cable on the cable guide is intact.
  • Make sure that the tube in the feeding fin is intact. Replace the tube if it is worn or damaged. (Fig. 14)
  • Make sure that the edge around the hole is not sharp or damaged. Replace the cable guide if it is damaged.
  • Make sure that all screws are tightened.
  • Make sure that all levers are in neutral position.

Personal protective equipment
WARNING : Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Personal protective equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it decreases the degree of injury if an accident does occur. Let your dealer help you select the right equipment.
  • Use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots or shoes. Do not use open shoes or go with bare feet.
  • Use heavy, long pants.
  • Use protective gloves when necessary, for example when you attach, examine or clean the cable laying equipment.
  • We recommend to use hearing protection.

Safety devices on the product

WARNING : Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Do not use a product with safety devices that are damaged or do not operate correctly.
  • Do not remove or do modifications to safety devices.
  • Do a check of the safety devices regularly. If the safety devices are damaged or do not operate correctly, speak to your Husqvarna service agent.

Drill operation bail
The drill operation bail stops the drill. When the drill operation bail is released, the drill stops. To do a check of the drill operation bail, start the motor and then release the drill operation bail. If the drill does not stop in 3 seconds, speak to an approved Husqvarna service agent. (Fig. 15)

Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator. Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or damaged. A damaged muffler increases the noise level and the risk of fire.

WARNING : The muffler becomes very hot during and after use and when the engine operates at idle speed. Be careful near flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent fire.

To do a check of the muffler
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is attached correctly and not damaged.
