• 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 equipment
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
terrain. Always work across slopes -
never up and down! Be particularly
careful when changing the travelling
direction. Do not work on very steep
slopes.
• Always guide the implement at a
walking pace with both hands on the
handle. Be especially careful when you
turn the implement around or draw it
towards you. Danger of stumbling!
• Start or actuate the starting lever with
care and in conformity with the direc-
tions in these Instructions.
• Do not tilt the implement when start-
ing, other than it has to be lifted. In
this case tilt the implement only to the
extent that is absolutely necessary and
always lift the implement on the side
that is opposite to the operator.
• Never operate the implement without
the attached collection bag or impact
protector. Danger of injury! Always
keep well away from the ejector open-
ing.
• Do not operate the implement in the vicin-
ity of inflammable liquids or gases as this
could give rise to the danger of a fire or
explosion.
Work intervals:
• After the implement has been turned
off, the cutting cylinder will continue to
rotate for a few seconds. Keep hands
and feet well away.
• Only remove plant parts when the
implement is standing completely still.
Ensure that the grass ejector opening is
clean and free.
• Switch off the power when the imple-
ment is to be transported, lifted or tilt-
ed and when traversing other surfaces
than grass.
• Never leave the implement unattended
at the place of work.
• Always switch off the implement and
disconnect the power plug:-
- Whenever you leave the implement
- Before you clean the ejector open-
ing or unblock or unclog the imple-
ment
- When the implement is not being
used
