shoes. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or
clothing with dangling strings or ribbons. Always
wear face protection and protective goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
• When using the blade: sturdy, non-slip shows
with steel caps.
• Thoroughly check the area of use of the machine
and remove all object that could be caught and
ejected by the machine.
• Remove extension cables out of the range of
action of the machine. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may give the operator an
electric shock.
• Always inspect visually before use if the blade,
the fixing screw and the blade assembly are worn
or damaged. Worn or damaged components
must be replaced in sets to avoid imbalance.
Replace damaged or illegible markings.
• Never replace the non-metalling cutting line with
a metallic cutting line. Use only genuine
accessories.
• When working for long periods of time wear ear
protectors. High noise levels over a prolonged
period of time may affect your hearing.
• Practice all work techniques. Inexperienced
persons are strongly advised to seek competent
advise and guidance from an experienced
person before operating this machine.
4.3 Kickback
• Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory
pinching or jamming while rotating (24). Pinching
or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
blade. This in turn causes an uncontrolled
machine to be forced in the opposite direction of
the blade at the pinched or snagged point.
Make sure that you stand safely, hold the
machine firmly on both handles and avoid getting
caught or blocking the blade. Also be aware of
hidden obstacles that may cause the blade to
jam.
4.4 Operation
• Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Avoid using the machine on wet grass.
• Do not operate the machine in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This reduces the risk to be hit by
lightning.
• Keep the ventilation openings free from foreign
bodies.
• Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Always use the supplied carry strap/shoulder
strap.
• Avoid adverse body positions. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times, especially when
working on sloped ground.
• Ensure stable footing. If you lose your balance,
immediately let go of the switch (6).
• Make sure you have the correct working position,
take breaks and change working position.
• Guide the tool only at walking pace.
• When working on slopes, always move along
horizontally, never mow up and down.
• Be extremely careful when changing direction on
slopes.
• Do not work on steep slopes.
• Do not mow near steep slopes, ditches or
embankments.
• Watch out for holes, furrows, rocks and other
hidden objects that can cause you to fall.
Remove all obstacles such as stones and
branches
• Always keep the cutting tool close to the ground.
• Never operate the machine with damaged
protective equipment or without protective
equipment (e.g. step limiter, guard, handle).
• Carefully start up the motor according to the
instructions and with your feet far away from the
cutting insert.
• Danger from parts moving hazardously. Do not
touch moving parts. Before any contact, all parts
must have come to a complete standstill and the
battery pack must have been removed.
• Do not put your hands or feet anywhere near or
below rotating parts.
• Switch off the motor and remove battery pack(s).
Ensure that all moving parts have come to a
standstill:
- if you leave the machine unattended;
- before clearing any blockages;
- before checking or cleaning the machine or
before carrying out any work on the machine;
- if a foreign object has been hit or if the machine
has been dropped. Check the machine for
damage and have repairs carried out before
putting the machine back into operation.
- when the machine starts to vibrate excessively.
• If the machine starts to vibrate with unusual
strength, an immediate check is required:
- check for damage;
- replace or repair damaged parts;
- ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tightened.
• In the event of an accident or malfunction, switch
off the machine immediately and remove the
battery pack.
4.5 Maintenance and storage
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• All nuts, bolts and screws must always be
tightened to ensure that the machine is in safe
operating condition.
• When adjusting the machine take care not to jam
your fingers between moving blades and fixed
parts of the machine.
• Remove the battery packs from the machine, wait
until all moving parts have come to a standstill
