lems, return the equipment to a
customer service centre.
•
If the blades no longer cut cor-
rectly or if the motor is over-
loaded, check all the parts of
your equipment and replace
the worn parts. If a more exten-
sive repair is required, contact
a customer service centre.
Use:
•
CAUTION – A very sharp tool.
Avoid cutting your fingers or
toes. While working always
keep your feet and fingers well
away from the cutting cylinder
and the ejector opening. There
is the danger of serious injury!
•
Do not operate the imple-
ment while it is raining, in poor
weather conditions and when
the surrounding area and lawn
are wet. Operate the imple-
ment only during daylight hours
or with bright lighting.
•
Do not operate the implement
if you are tired or are lacking in
concentration and after having
drunk alcohol or taken medi-
cine. Always take a work break
in due time. Approach the work
with common sense.
•
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 care-
ful when changing the travel-
ling direction. Do not work on
62
very steep slopes.
•
Always guide the implement at
a walking pace with both hands
on the handle. Be especially
careful when you turn the imple-
ment around or draw it towards
you. Danger of stumbling!
•
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.
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 tra-
