• Familiarise yourself with handling the
tool and pay attention to all possible
dangers that may be overheard while

working with the tool.

• Check the terrain on which you will
be using the tool, and remove stones,
sticks, wires or other foreign objects
that may be caught up and spun off.
• Wear proper working clothes, such as
firm footwear with non-slip soles and
strong long trousers. Do not use the
tool barefoot or wearing open-toed
sandals.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• To prevent injury from the tines, only
switch the tool on in its working posi-
tion.
• Examine the tool beforehand every
time you use it. Do not use the tool
when the safety components (such as
the power safety catch or guard), cut-
ting parts or bolts are missing, worn
or damaged. In particular, check the
mains cable and dead-man lever for
damage.
• Only replace damaged bolts or tines in
complete sets to prevent imbalance.
• Only use replacement and accessory
parts delivered and recommended by
the manufacturer. Using foreign parts
will immediately lead to loss of guaran-
tee.

jury hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention regula-
tions and local by-laws.
• Do not use the tool to chop up stones
or till lawn soil, as such use may dam-
age the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul weath-
er or damp surroundings (such as near
garden ponds or swimming pools).
Only use in daylight or good lighting
conditions.
• Be sensible. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or easily distracted, 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, especially on
slopes. If working on a slope, work
along the slope, not upwards or down-
wards. Be particularly careful when
changing direction on the slope. Do
not use the tool on excessively steep
slopes.
• If there is any danger of slipping on
sloped ground, have a second person
secure the tool with a rod or cable.
The second person 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 back-
wards – danger of tripping over!
• Take particular care when turning or
raising the machine.
• If the chopping knife is blocked by a
foreign body, switch off the equipment
and disconnect at the plug. Remove
the foreign body (e.g. root) before re-
starting the equipment.
• Do not use the tool if it is damaged,
incomplete or altered without the ap-
proval of the manufacturer. In particu-
