yourself and other people and ensure
that the equipment can be smoothly
operated:

turer. Never operate the equipment if
the protective equipment is defective.

perfectly safe condition, especially the
power cable, the switch and the protec-
tive cover. Never disconnect or remove
any protective devices. This ensures
that the equipment remains safe.

working on a sloping terrain.
This enables you to control the equip-
ment better in unexpected situations.
• Do not operate the equipment if you
are tired or lack concentration and after
having drunk alcohol or taken medica-
tion. Always take a work break in due
time. A moment of carelessness when
using the equipment can result in seri-
ous injury.

raining, in poor weather conditions and
when the surrounding area is wet. Only
work when the light conditions are good.
