dead-man lever for damage.
• Only replace damaged bolts or
tines in complete sets to pre-

• Only use replacement and ac-
cessory parts delivered and
recommended by the manu-

Working with the tool:
Keep your hands and feet
away from the tines while
working, especially when
starting up the tool – injury
hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention
regulations and local by-laws.
• Do not use the tool to chop up
stones or till lawn soil, as such
use may damage the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul
weather or damp surroundings
(such as near garden ponds or
swimming pools). Only use in
daylight or good lighting condi-
tions.
• Be sensible. Do not use the tool
if you are tired or easily distract-
ed, or after the use of alcohol
or medicines. Take a break as
soon as you need one.
• Make sure that you are stand-

second person should stand
up the slope at a safe distance
from the tool.
• Always hold the tool securely in
both hands while working with it.
• Make sure that the grips are
dry and clean. Be careful while
moving backwards – danger of
tripping over!
• Take particular care when turn-

foreign body (e.g. root) before
restarting the equipment.

not work with the tool if guards
or protection fittings are dam-

work in the performance range
stated. Do not use tools that
do not have sufficient power
for heavy jobs. Do not use the
tool for any use other than that
