bag. ● Do not bring your hands or feet in the vicinity of,
or underneath rotating parts. Switch the motor on ac-
cording to the operating instructions. ● Never lift or carry
the device while the motor is running. ● Uneven terrain

cluding the periods when disposing of the mown
grass.
● Before removing a blockage or cleaning the ejection
chute.

lowing dangers can be present when using the de-
vice:
● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools

CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
