Do not wear loose clothing
or clothes that straps or belts
suspend from.
• Before each use, carry out
a visual inspection of the
equipment. Do not use the
equipment if protective devices
(e.g. collision guard or grass
bag), parts of the cutting device
or bolts are missing, worn or
damaged. To avoid imbalance,
damaged tools and bolts are to
be replaced only in sets.
• Take care with equipment that
has several cutting tools, as the
movement of one blade may
result in the rotation of the other
blades.
• Use only spare parts and
accessories supplied and
recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of non-
original parts will immediately
invalidate the guarantee.
• Worn or damaged information
signs must be replaced.
Working with the Equipment:
Do not place feet or hands
near or under rotating parts
when working. Risk of injury!
Observe the noise protection
and local regulations. Opera-
ting the device can be limited
or prohibited on certain days
(e.g. Sundays and public ho-
lidays), certain daytimes (e.g.
noon, night rest) or in special
areas (e.g. health resorts,
hospitals etc.).
• Switch on the motor according
to the instructions and only
when your feet are at a safe di-
stance from the cutting tools.
• Do not use the equipment in the
rain, in poor weather, in a damp
environment, or on wet grass.
Work only in daylight or with
good lighting.
• Do not work with the equipment
when tired, lacking concentra-
tion or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Always take
breaks in good time. Take a
sensible approach to the work.
• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
Take particular care when
changing the direction of travel
on the slope. Do not work on
excessively steep slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a
walking pace. Take particular
care when turning the equip-
ment around, pulling it towards
you or going backwards.
• Switch on the equipment care-
fully and in accordance with the
directions in these instructions.
Ensure sufficient distance bet-
ween feet and the rotating blades.
• Do not tilt the equipment when
starting other than if it is ne-
cessary to do so when starting
up in long grass. In this case,
tilt the equipment by pressing
down the handle bar such that
the front wheels of the equip-
ment are raised. Always check
that both hands are in the wor-
king position before returning
the equipment to the ground.
