• Check the area on which the implement
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 operate
the implement while bare footed or
when wearing open sandals.
The protective devices and your per-
sonal protective equipment will protect
yourself and other people and ensure
that the equipment can be smoothly
operated
• 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).This ensures that the
equipment remains safe.
• Before starting the equipment, ensure
that no objects or branches are pushed
into the blade opening, that the equip-
ment 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 protec-
tive equipment. There is a risk of injury.
• If your equipment vibrates or emits unu-
sual noises when switched on, discon-
nect the plug from the socket and check
the cutting cylinder. Ensure that no re-
mains of chopped matter are blocking
the cutting cylinder or jammed between
the blades. If you find no problems,
return the equipment to a customer ser-
vice 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 extensive
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. There is a risk of acci-
dents.
• Do not operate the implement if you
are tired or are lacking in concentration
and after having drunk alcohol or taken
medicine. Always take a work break in
due time. Approach the work with com-
mon sense. A moment of carelessness
when using the equipment can result in
serious injury.
• Familiarize yourself with the terrain and
remain focused on the potential haz-
ards that you could miss on account of
the motor noise.
• Always maintain a secure footing while
working, especially on a sloping ter-
rain. Always work across slopes - never
up and down! Be particularly careful
when changing the travelling direction.
Do not work on very steep slopes. This
enables you to control the equipment
better in unexpected situations.
• Always guide the implement at a
walking pace with both hands on the
handle. Be especially careful when you
