Preparations:
• Never allow children and people who
are not familiar with these Operating
Instructions to use the implement.
Local regulations may stipulate a mini-
mum age for operators.
• This equipment is not intended for
use by people (including children) with
limited physical, sensory or intellectual
abilities or lack of experience and/or
lack of knowledge, other than with the
supervision of a person responsible
for their safety or with the instruction
of the same in terms of how to use the
equipment.
• Never start up the implement while
other people, but especially children
and domestic pets, are in the vicinity.
• Check the area on which the im-
plement is to be used. Remove all
stones, sticks, wire and other foreign
bodies that could be caught up and
flung out.
Never use the implement to level out
uneven patches.
• Always wear appropriate protective
work clothes and firm shoes with non-
slip soles, strong long trousers, ear
defenders and goggles. Never oper-
ate the implement while bare footed or
when wearing open sandals.
• Never operate the implement if it is
damaged, incomplete or has been
modified without the consent of the
manufacturer. Never work with dam-
aged or missing protective devices
(e.g. starting lever, unlocking knob,
impact protector).
• Never disengage protective devices
(e.g. by tying the starting lever).
• Children must be supervised in order
to ensure that they do not play with
the equipment.
• Before starting the equipment, en-
sure that no objects or branches are
pushed into the blade opening, that
the equipment is standing stably and
that the workspace is tidy and not
blocked.
Check the condition of your extension
cable and the connecting cable of
your equipment. Use the necessary
protective equipment.
• If your equipment vibrates or emits
unusual noises when switched on,
disconnect the plug from the socket
and check the cutting cylinder. Ensure
that no remains of chopped matter
are blocking the cutting cylinder or
jammed between the blades. If you
find no problems, return the equip-
ment to a customer service centre.
• If the blades no longer cut correctly
or if the motor is overloaded, check
all the parts of your equipment and
replace the worn parts. If a more ex-
tensive repair is required, contact a
customer service centre.
Use:
• CAUTION – A very sharp tool. Avoid
cutting your fingers or toes. While
working always keep your feet and
fingers well away from the cutting cyl-
inder and the ejector opening. There
is the danger of serious injury!
• Do not operate the implement while it
is raining, in poor weather conditions
and when the surrounding area and
lawn are wet. Operate the implement
only during daylight hours or with
bright lighting.
• Do not operate the implement if you
are tired or are lacking in concentra-
tion and after having drunk alcohol or
taken medicine. Always take a work
break in due time. Approach the work
with common sense.
• Familiarize yourself with the terrain
and remain focused on the potential
hazards that you could miss on ac-
count of the motor noise.
• Always maintain a secure footing
while working, especially on a sloping
