equipment can result in serious
injury.
•
Familiarize yourself with the
terrain and remain focused on
the potential hazards that you
could miss on account of the
motor noise.
•
Always maintain a secure foot-
ing while working, especially on
a sloping terrain. Always work
across slopes - never up and
down! Be particularly careful
when changing the travelling
direction. Do not work on very
steep slopes. This enables you
to control the equipment better
in unexpected situations.
•
Avoid an abnormal body pos-
ture.
•
Always guide the implement
at a walking pace with both
hands on the handle. Be es-
pecially careful when you turn
the implement around or draw
it towards you. Danger of stum-
bling!
•
Start or actuate the starting
lever with care and in conform-
ity 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 imple-
ment only to the extent that
is absolutely necessary and
always lift the implement on
the side that is opposite to the
operator.
•
Never operate the implement
without the attached collection
bag or impact protector. Dan-
ger of injury! Always keep well
away from the ejector opening.
•
Do not operate the implement
in the vicinity of inflammable
liquids or gases as this could
give rise to the danger of a fire
or explosion.
•
Always disconnect the plug
from the mains socket before
working.
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.
•
Do not touch the spring tines
before the implement has been
disconnected from the mains
and the spring tines have come
to a complete standstill. Risk of
injury owing to a sharp imple-
ment!
•
Only remove plant parts when
the implement is standing com-
pletely 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 travers-
ing other surfaces than grass.
•
Never leave the implement un-
attended at the place of work.
Children must never play with
the device.
•
Always switch off the imple-
ment and disconnect the power
plug:-
- Whenever you leave the im-
plement
- Before you clean the ejector
opening or unblock or unclog
the implement
