Electrical safety

Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least
- 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
- 2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m

Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
The connector of the connection cable must be splash-proof.
When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
Do not drive the device across the extension cable. Make
sure that it is behind you in a secure position. Place the
cable on a path or area that has already been thatched.
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not
use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid touching
earthed parts with your body (e.g. pipes, heating apparatus,
cookers, fridges etc.).
Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.
Do never connect a damaged cable to the mains. Do not
touch a damaged cable before it is disconnected from the
mains. A damaged cable may cause contact with live parts.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor
use.
Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the
machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or
one of our customer service points. Local regulations –
especially regarding protective measures – must be
observed.
Damaged mains leads must be replaced by the
manufacturer or one of their service workshops or a similar
qualified person to prevent dangers.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out
by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points.
Use only original spare parts, accessories and special
accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user through
the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such action.

Assembly

Front wheels – VT 40
On the left and right side, slide the wheel (16), washer (4)
and lock washer (37) on the axle. Fix them using the screws
M6x12 (36).
Plug the hub cap (17) and the wheel cap (18) on the wheel.
Handle hoop
Plug the lower handle hoop (2) in the body. Make sure that it
locks into place.
Fasten the upper handle hoop (1). You can choose from two
handle heights. Use the supplied fasteners (2x machine
knob (5), 2x washer (4), 2x screw M6x45 (3)).
Fix the cable on the handle hoop using the cable holders (6).
Make sure that the cable has enough free motion.
Grass catching bag (8)
optional accessory
Pull the impact guard (7) up and hold it.
Hang up the collecting bag (8) on the holders.
Make sure that the collecting bag (8) is in contact with the
bar and the impact guard (7) rests on the collecting bag.

Start-up

Mains connection

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230
V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
Connect the machine via a circuit breaker switch (residual-
current-operated circuit switch) 30 mA.
Use connecting or extension cables up to a length of 1.5 m
featuring a core cross section of at least 25 mm².
Mounting of the extension cable
Plug the female connector of the extension cable on the
male connector of the switch-connector combination (9).
Thread the extension cable through the strain relief (10) as a
loop and hang it up.
Make sure that the extension cable has enough free motion.
Switching on / off
Do not use any device where the switch can not be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired or
replaced immediately by the customer service.
The device is equipped with a safety circuitry preventing
inadvertent switching on.
Only start the machine when it is placed on a flat lawn
area with short grass (shorter than 4cm) and without
obstacles.
