Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will re-
duce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
• Risk of injuries of fingers and hands by contact with the
rotating cutting thread.
• Risk of injury at feet by contact with the cutting thread at a
no-covered area.
• Stones and soil may be thrown off.
• Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
• Burning when touching hot parts.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning when using the device in
closed or poorly ventilated rooms.
• Fire danger.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist

The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of exposure.
Warning!
The vibration emission level can differ from the indicated value
during actual use of the power tool depending on the manner
of usage.
It is necessary to define safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimate of exposure at the
actual conditions of usage (for this, all parts of the operation
cycle have to be considered, e.g. times during which the power
tool is cut off and times during which it is switched on but runs
in no-load mode).
