and user maintenance must not
be carried out by children.
• The operator or user is respon-
sible for accidents, injuries to
other people or damage to the
property of others.
• Check the terrain on which the
equipment is to be used and re-
move stones, sticks, wires and
other foreign objects that could
become caught and thrown up.
This can result in serious injury.
• Wear suitable work clothing
such as stable shoes with non-
slip soles and robust, long trou-
sers. Do not use the equipment
when barefoot or when wearing
open sandals. Avoid wearing
loose clothing with hanging
laces or belts. There is a risk of
injury!
• Before each use, carry out a
visual inspection of the equip-
ment. Do not use the equip-
ment if protective devices (e.g.
collision guard or grass bag),
parts of the cutting device
or bolts are missing, worn or
damaged. To avoid imbalance,
damaged tools and bolts are to
be replaced only in sets. This
ensures that the equipment re-
mains safe.
• Take care with equipment that
has several cutting tools, as
the movement of one blade
may result in the rotation of the
other blades.
• Use only spare parts and ac-
cessories supplied and recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
The use of non-original parts
will immediately invalidate the
guarantee.
Working with the Equipment:
Do not place feet or hands
near or under rotating parts
when working. Risk of injury!
Observe the noise protec-
tion and local regulations.
• Switch on the motor accord-
ing to the instructions and only
when your feet are at a safe
distance from the cutting tools.
Risk of injury from cuts.
• Do not use the equipment in
the rain, in poor weather, in a
damp environment, or on wet
grass. Water entry into the
equipment increases the risk of
electric shock.Work only in day-
light or with good lighting.
Accident hazard!
• Do not work with the equipment
when tired, lacking concentra-
tion or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Always take
breaks in good time. Take
a sensible approach to the
work.A moment of careless-
ness when using the equipment
can result in serious injury.
• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
This enables you to control the
equipment better in unexpected
situations. Always work across
the slope, never upwards or
downwards. Take particular
care when changing the direc-
tion of travel on the slope. Do
not work on excessively steep
slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a
walking pace. Take particular
