4.2 Warning – dangers caused by 
electrical current
Only operate machine with fully uncoiled 
power cable.
Extension reels must always be fully 
unwound before use.
Never use a damaged extension cable. 
Replace defective cables with new ones 
and never repair extension cables.
If the power cable or extension cable is 
damaged during operation, immediately 
disconnect the power cable or extension 
cable from the power supply. Never touch 
the damaged power cable or extension 
cable.
Never use the machine if the cables are 
damaged or worn. Check the power cable 
in particular for damage and ageing.
Maintenance and repair work on power 
cables must only be performed by 
specially qualified technicians.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not connect a damaged cable to the 
mains and only touch a damaged cable 
once it has been disconnected from the 
mains.
Only touch the cutting units (blades) when 
the machine is disconnected from the 
mains.
Always ensure that the power cables used 
are adequately protected by a fuse.
Do not work in the rain or in a 
wet environment.
Only use extension cables that 
are insulated against moisture 
for outdoor use which are suitable for use 
with the machine (Ö 10.1).
Detach electric cables at the plug and 
socket and not by pulling on the electric 
cable.
Do not leave the machine unprotected in 
the rain.
It must be noted that current fluctuations 
can damage the machine when it is 
connected to a power generator.
Only connect the machine to a power 
supply that is protected by means of a 
residual current-operated protective 
device with a release current of a 
maximum of 30 mA. Your electrician can 
provide further information.
4.3 Clothing and equipment
Always wear sturdy footwear 
with high-grip soles when 
working. Never work barefoot 
or, for example, in sandals.
Also always wear sturdy gloves 
when working and in particular 
also when performing 
maintenance operations or 
transporting the machine.
Always wear safety glasses and 
hearing protection when 
working. Wear them at all times.
Wear suitable, close-fitting 
clothing when working with the 
machine, e.g. overalls, but not 
work coats. Do not wear 
scarves, ties, jewellery, clothing with 
dangling straps or cords or other 
protruding articles of clothing when 
working with the machine.
Long hair must be tied up and secured 
(headscarf, cap, etc.) at all times when 
operating or performing work on the 
machine.
4.4 Transporting the machine
Always wear gloves in order to prevent 
injuries due to sharp-edged and hot 
components.
Do not transport the machine with the 
motor running. Switch off the motor, allow 
the blades to come to a standstill and 
disconnect the mains plug prior to 
transport.
Only transport the machine once the motor 
has cooled down.
Only transport the machine with the feed 
chute properly fitted
Risk of injury due to exposed blades.
Pay particular attention to the weight of the 
machine, especially when tilting.
Use suitable loading aids (loading ramps, 
lifters).
Warning:
Risk of electric shock!
Particularly important for 
electrical safety are the 
power cable, mains plug, 
On / Off switch and 
electric cable. Damaged cables, 
connectors and plugs, or electric 
cables that do not conform to 
regulations must not be used, to 
prevent any risk of electric shocks. 
Therefore, check the electric cable 
regularly for signs of damage or 
ageing (brittleness).
