• Check the terrain on which the device will be used and remove any stones, sticks, wires
or other foreign objects which may be drawn into the device and ejected.
• Wear suitable work clothing, such as solid shoes with nonslip soles as well as long,
robust trousers. Never use the device barefooted or wearing open sandals. Avoid
wearing loose clothing with hanging laces or belts.
• Always perform a visual inspection of the device before using it. Do not use the device
if its safety equipment (e.g. impact rotection or grass collection ox), parts of the
cutting unit or bolts are missing, worn or damaged. Damaged tools and bolts must only
be replaced as a set to prevent imbalance).
• Take care when using devices with several cutting tools since the movement of one
blade can lead to rotation of the other blades.
• Only use spare parts and accessories which are supplied and recommended by the
manufacturer. Using externally produced parts results in the immediate loss of the
warranty claim.
• Worn or damaged information signs must be replaced.
Working with the Equipment
Do not place feet or hands near or under rotating parts when working. Risk of
injury!
• Switch the motor on as directed and only if your feet are a safe distance away from the
cutting tools.
• Do not use the device in the rain, poor weather, damp environments or on wet lawn.
• Only work in daylight or where there is sufficient illumination.
• If you are tired or lacking in concentration or have consumed alcohol or tablets, do not
work with the device. Always have a break on time. Work using common sense.
• Always ensure secure positioning, particularly on slopes, when working. Always move
crosswise across slopes, never up or down. Take special care when changing the
direction of travel on slopes. Do not work on overly steep slopes.
• Only operate the device at walking speed. Take special care when turning the device
around, pulling it towards you or going backwards.
• Turn the device on with care in accordance with these operating instructions. Ensure
your feet are at a sufficient distance from the rotating blades.
• Do not tilt the device when starting it up, unless this is required when starting up in
long grass. In such an event, tilt the device by pushing down on the grip handle in such
a way that the front wheels of the device raise slightly. Always check that both hands
are in the working position before placing the device again on the ground.
• Never work without the grass collection box or impact protection. Always keep away
from the ejector opening.
