- During all maintenance and cleaning work
- When the power cable is damaged or has be-
come tangled
- When the implement hits an obstruction during
work or when unusual vibrations arise. Establish
the cause and see if the implement has been
damaged. Do not repair it yourself! Have the
implement repaired by an authorised workshop!
• Store the implement in a dry place well out of reach
of children.
Caution!
The following states how to avoid damage
to the implement and any resulting harm to people:
Take care of your implement
•
Switch off the power when the implement is to be
carried across steps.
• Inspect the implement each time before it is to be
used. Never operate the implement if safety devic-
es (e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting facility
or bolts are missing, worn out or damaged. Check
especially the power cable and starting lever for
damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts
must be exchanged as complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have
been supplied or recommended by the manufactur-
er. The use of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims. Ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screws are firmly tightened and that the
implement is in a safe working state.
• Never try to repair the implement yourself, other
than you have been trained accordingly. All work
that has not been listed in these Instructions must
only be carried out by authorised servicing agen-
cies.
• Treat the implement with the greatest care. Always
keep the tool clean for better and safer work. Follow
the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the implement. Always work within
the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power
machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
implement for purposes for which it is not intended.
Electrical safety:
Caution!
The following states how to avoid accidents
and injuries due to electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of
the power and extension cables for signs of dam-
age or ageing.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer
service agent of the same or a similarly qualified
person in order to prevent hazards.
Use:
•
Caution – A very sharp tool. Avoid cutting your fin
-
gers or toes. While working always keep your feet
and fingers well away from the cutting cylinder 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 concentration 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 fo-
cused on the potential hazards that you could miss
on account of the motor noise.
• Always maintain a secure footing while working,
especially on a sloping never up and down! Be par-
ticularly careful when changing the travelling direc-
tion. 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 to-
wards you. Danger of stumbling!
• Start or actuate the starting lever with care and in
conformity with the directions in these Instructions.
• Do not tilt the implement when starting, other than
it has to be lifted. In this case tilt the implement only
to the extent that is absolutely necessary and al-
ways 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 opening.
• Do not operate the implement in the vicinity of in-
flammable 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 implement is to be
transported, lifted or tilted and when traversing oth-
er 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 opening or unblock
or unclog the implement
- When the implement is not being used
