Working with the tool:
Keep your hands and feet
away from the tines while
working, especially when start-
ing up the tool – injury hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention
regulations and local by-laws.
• Do not use the tool to chop up
stones or till lawn soil, as such
use may damage the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul
weather or damp surroundings
(such as near garden ponds or
swimming pools). Only use in
daylight or good lighting condi-
tions.
• Be sensible. Do not use the tool
if you are tired or easily distract-
ed, or after the use of alcohol
or medicines. Take a break as
soon as you need one.
• Make sure that you are standing
firmly when using the tool, especial-
ly on slopes. If working on a slope,
work along the slope, not upwards
or downwards. Be particularly care-
ful when changing direction on the
slope. Do not use the tool on ex-
cessively steep slopes.
• If there is any danger of slipping
on sloped ground, have a sec-
ond person secure the tool with
a rod or cable. The second per-
son should stand up the slope
at a safe distance from the tool.
• Always hold the tool securely
in both hands while working
with it.
• Make sure that the grips are
dry and clean. Be careful while
moving backwards – danger of
tripping over!
