15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
thrown objects, do not allow any other
persons within a radius of 15 meters of
your own position.
Also maintain this distance to reduce the
risk of damage to property (parked
vehicles, windows).
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce the
risk a short circuit or
electrocution, never work
with the power tool in the
rain or in wet or very damp
locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Do not cut wet grass.
Take special care in slippery conditions
on slopes, uneven ground, etc.
Avoid stumbling on stumps, roots, rocks
or in ditches.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good – ensure you do not endanger
others – stay alert at all times.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work".
Make sure the safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating your power tool if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, have the
machine checked by your servicing
dealer.
