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 cyl-
inder and the ejector opening.
There is the danger of serious
injury!
• Do not operate the implement
while it is raining, in poor weath-
er conditions and when the sur-
rounding area and lawn are
wet. Operate the implement
only during daylight hours or
with bright lighting. There is a
risk of accidents.
• Do not operate the implement
if you are tired or are lack-
ing in concentration and after
having drunk alcohol or taken
medicine. 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
footing while working, espe-
cially on a sloping terrain.
Always work across slopes
- never up and down! Be par-
ticularly careful when chang-
ing the travelling direction. Do
not scarify or aerate on overly
steep slopes. This enables
you to control the equipment
better in unexpected situa-
tions.

without the attached collection
bag or impact protector. Dan-
ger of injury!Never place your

from the mains socket before
working.
• Hold the prongs if the ma-
chine needs to be tipped over
for transport over areas other
than grass and if the machine
is moved from and to the area
to be treated.
