Be particularly alert and cautious when 
wearing hearing protection because 
your ability to hear warnings (shouts, 
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired 
or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight 
conditions and only when visibility is 
good. Proceed with caution, do not put 
others in danger.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal 
injury from breathing toxic fumes, 
ensure proper ventilation when working 
in trenches, hollows or other confined 
locations.
Stop work immediately if you start 
suffering from nausea, headaches, 
impaired vision (e.g. your field of vision 
gets smaller), impaired hearing, 
dizziness, or impaired concentration – 
these symptoms may possibly be the 
result of too-high exhaust gas 
concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it 
produces a minimum of noise and 
emissions – do not run the engine 
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine 
only when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke 
while operating or standing near your 
power tool. Combustible fuel vapor may 
escape from the fuel system.
Dust, fumes and smoke produced while 
working may be hazardous to health. 
Wear respiratory protection in case of 
heavy dust or smoke emission.
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".
Check in particular that the fuel system 
has no leaks and the safety equipment is 
fully operative. Never use a power tool 
that is no longer safe to operate. In case 
of doubt, contact a dealer.
Be particularly careful when working on 
difficult, densely grown terrain.
When mowing in high shrubbery, under 
shrubbery and hedges: Hold the cutting 
tool at a working height of at least 15 cm 
– avoid risks to animals.
Always shut off the engine before 
leaving the unit unattended.
Examine the cutting attachment 
periodically at short intervals and as 
soon as you note any noticeable 
changes:
– Stop the engine, hold the machine 
securely, allow the cutting 
attachment to come to a stop
– Check condition and secure fitting; 
watch out for cracks
– Ensure that the cutting blades are 
sharp
– Replace damaged or blunt cutting 
attachments immediately, even in 
the event of minor hairline cracks
Clean grass and plant residue off the 
cutting attachment mounting at regular 
intervals – remove any accumulated 
material from the cutting attachment and 
deflector.
As soon as the engine is 
running, the power 
machine generates toxic 
exhaust gas.As soon as 
the engine is running, the 
power machine gener-
ates toxic exhaust gas. 
These gases may be 
odorless and invisible 
and may contain 
unburned hydrocarbons 
and benzene. Never run 
the engine indoors or in 
poorly ventilated loca-
tions, even if your model 
is equipped with a cata-
lytic converter.
To reduce the risk 
of injuryfrom 
thrown objects, 
never operate the 
unit without the 
proper deflector for 
the type of cutting 
attachment being 
used.
Check the work site – 
rocks, metal objects etc. 
could get caught up and 
ejected – potentially 
beyond a distance of 
15 m – risk of injury! Such 
objects can also damage 
the cutting attachment 
and other property (e.g. 
parked vehicles, 
windows).
