•
If possible, avoid using the
equipment on wet grass.
•
Do not operate the implement
if you are tired or are lacking in
concentration and after having
drunk alcohol or taken medici-
ne. Always take a work break
in due time. Approach the work
with common sense.
•
Familiarize yourself with the ter-
rain and remain focused on the
potential hazards that you could
miss on account of the motor
noise.
•
Always maintain a secure foo-
ting 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.
•
Always guide the implement at a
walking pace with both hands on the
handle. Be especially careful when
you turn the implement around or draw
it towards you. Danger of stum-
bling!
•
Do not change the engine regu-
lator setting and do not over-rev
it. This may damage the equip-
ment.
•
Before starting, the engine,
disengage all cutting tools and
drives.
•
Start or operate the start switch
with care and in accordance
with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Ensure sufficient space
between feet and the cutting
tool. Risk of injury.
•
Do not tilt the implement when
starting, other than it has to be
lifted. In this case tilt the im-
plement only to the extent that
68
is absolutely necessary and
always lift the implement on the
side that is opposite to the ope-
rator.
•
When the unit is put back on
the ground after lifting, both
hands must be in working posi-
tion.
•
Never operate the implement
without the attached collection
bag or impact protector. Danger
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.
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.
•
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 traver-
sing other surfaces than grass.
•
Never leave the implement
unattended at the place of work.
•
Switch off the engine, take out
the spark plug connector and
ensure that all moving parts are
still:
- before touching the tines
- Before releasing blockages or
removing obstructions in the
ejection channel;
