4.8 Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current
Warning:
Risk of electric shock!
Particularly important for
electrical safety are the
power cable, mains plug,
On / Off switch and
electric cable. Damaged cables,
connectors and plugs, or electric
cables that do not conform to
regulations must not be used, to
prevent any risk of electric shocks.
Therefore, check the electric cable
regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness).
Only operate machine with fully uncoiled
power cable.
Extension reels must always be fully
unwound before use.
Never use a damaged extension cable.
Replace defective cables with new ones
and never repair extension cables.
Never use the machine if the cables are
damaged or worn. Check the power cable
in particular for damage and ageing.
Maintenance and repair work on power
cables must only be performed by
specially qualified technicians.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not connect a damaged cable to the
mains and only touch a damaged cable
once it has been disconnected from the
mains.

Only touch the cutting units (blades) when
the machine is disconnected from the
mains.
Always ensure that the power cables used
are adequately protected by a fuse.
Although the motor is
splashproof, do not use the
machine when it is raining or in
wet environments.
Only use extension cables that are
insulated against moisture for outdoor use
which are suitable for use with the
machine ( 11.1).
Keep the electric cable away from the
blade when mowing.
Detach electric cables at the plug and
socket and not by pulling on the electric
cable.
It must be noted that current fluctuations
can damage the machine when it is
connected to a power generator.
Only connect the machine to a power
supply that is protected by means of a
residual current-operated protective
device with a release current of a
maximum of 30 mA. Your electrician can
provide further information.
For reasons of electrical safety, the electric
cable must always be correctly installed on
the handlebar.

4.9 Disposal

Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, ensure that you remove
the power supply cable or the electric
cable to the motor.
Risk of injury due to the cutting tool!
Always store an old machine in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and the cutting tool are kept out
of the reach of children.
