• 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.
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 implement
while it is raining, in poor weather
conditions and when the surround-
ing area and lawn are wet. Op-
erate the implement only during
daylight hours or with bright light-
ing. There is a risk of accidents.
• 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. A moment
of carelessness when using the
equipment can result in serious
injury.
• 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 careful
when changing the travelling di-
rection. Do not scarify or aerate
on overly steep slopes. This ena-
bles you to control the equipment
better in unexpected situations.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture.
Walk, do not run.
• 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 operate the start lever with
care corresponding to the instruc-
tions in this instruction manual and
keep your feet at a safe distance
from the prongs.
• Do not tilt the implement when
starting, other than it has to be
lifted. In this case tilt the imple-
