cially children and domestic

plement is to be used. Remove

• Never operate the implement
if it is damaged, incomplete or
has been modified without the
consent of the manufacturer.
Never work with damaged or
missing protective devices (e.g.
starting lever, unlocking knob,
impact protector). Never disen-
gage protective devices (e.g.
by tying the starting lever).This
ensures that the equipment re-
mains safe.
• Before starting the equipment, en-
sure that no objects or branches
are pushed into the blade open-
ing, that the equipment is stand-
ing stably and that the work-
space is tidy and not blocked.
• If your device demonstrates
unusual vibration or noise when
switching on, pull the ignition
key, remove the batteries from
the device and check the cutting
roll. Ensure that no remains of
chopped matter are blocking
the cutting cylinder or jammed
between the blades. If you find no
problems, 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 extensive
repair is required, contact a cus-
tomer service centre.
• Use the machine in the recom-
mended position and on a
solid, flat surface only.
• Do not operate the machine on
paved or gravelled areas where
material flung out can cause in-
juries.
