ping on sloped ground, have a
second person secure the tool
with a rod or cable. The second
person should stand up the
slope at a safe distance from
the tool.
• Always hold the tool securely in
both hands while working with
it.
• Make sure that the grips are
dry and clean. Be careful while
moving backwards – danger of
tripping over!
• Take particular care when turn-
ing or raising the machine.
• If the chopping knife is blocked
by a foreign body, switch off
the equipment and disconnect
at the plug. Remove the foreign
body (e.g. root) before restart-
ing the equipment.
• Do not use the tool if it is dam-
aged, incomplete or altered
without the approval of the
manufacturer. In particular, do
not work with the tool if guards
or protection fittings are dam-
aged or missing.
• Do not overload the tool. Only
work in the performance range
stated. Do not use tools that do
not have sufficient power for
heavy jobs. Do not use the tool
for any use other than that in-
tended by the manufacturer.
• Avoid damage to the tool. Do
not apply extra weight and do
not drag the tool over hard sur-
faces such as tiles or steps.
• Remove plants and root remains
regularly in the area of the
drive shaft. Thus, you avoid an
overload and damage the appli-
ance.
• Watch out for special hazards
when working on difficult (Rocky,
hard or similar) soil.
Stopping work:
Warning! The tines will con-
tinue to turn for a few seconds
after you switch the tool off.
Wait until they have stopped
moving – injury hazard!
• Do not lift or transport the tool
while the motor is running. Turn
the tool off and wait for the tines
to stop moving, then disconnect
the tool from the mains before
changing the area you are work-
ing on.
• Never leave the tool unattended
where you were using it.
• Switch the tool off, wait for the
tines to stop moving and discon-
nect the tool from the mains un-
der the following circumstances:
- Always before leaving the tool.
- Before removing remnants of
soil and plants.
- When the tool is not in use.
- Before you conduct mainte-
nance or cleaning work on the
tool.
- If the mains cable is damaged
or caught up.
- If the tool collides with an ob-
stacle or starts to vibrate in an
unusual manner. In this case,
examine the tool for damage,
and have it repaired if neces-
sary.
• Use the tool away from flam-
mable fluids or gases. Failure to
do so may result in fire or explo-
sion.
