− Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine towards you.

 

− Stop the tines if the machine has to be tilted for transportation. Do not operate the tines when 

crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the machine to and from the

deflectors and/or catchers, in place.

 

− Switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the tines.

 

− Do not tilt the machine when switching on the motor, except if the machine has to be tilted for

away from the operator.

 

− Do not start the motor when standing in front of the discharge chute.

 

− Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

− Examine the machine regularly and replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

5.3  RESIDUAL RISK

Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive 

instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk 

which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always 

be operated with caution!

5.4  CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with an approved plug and cable for your safety. 
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent 

connection to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class II† and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed 

on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance. 

Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.

Double insulated 

 : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is 

applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic 

insulation.
