Do not work with equipment that is dam-
aged, incomplete, or has been modified
without the authorisation of the manu-
facturer. Do not use the equipment with
damaged safety devices or screens or
with missing safety equipment such as
deflection and/or grass collection de-
vices.
•
Do not overload the equipment. Work
only within the specified power range
and do not change the regulator set-
tings on the motor. Do not use low-
powered machines for heavy work. Do
not use your equipment for purposes
other than those for which it is de-
signed.

Switch off the equipment and discon-
nect the plug:
- Whenever you leave the machine,
- Before cleaning the ejection hole
or removing blockages,
- When the equipment is out of use,
- Before checking, cleaning or work-
ing on the equipment,
- If the power cable is damaged or

Maintenance and Storage:
•
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are tightened firmly and the equip-
ment is in safe working condition.

Handle the equipment with care. Keep
tools sharp and clean, in order to fa-
cilitate better and safer work. Follow
the maintenance instructions.
•
Wear protective gloves when chang-
ing the cutting device.
•
Regularly check the grass collection
device for wear and strains. For safety
reasons, replace worn or damaged
parts. When adjusting the blades, take
particular care to avoid fingers being
trapped between the rotating blades
and fixed parts of the machine.
•
Check that only replacement tools
authorised by the manufacturer are
used.
Electrical Safety:
•
Ensure that the mains voltage match-
es the specifications on the rating
plate.
•
If possible, connect the equipment only
to a socked with a residual current-
operated protective device (RCD) with
a release current of more than 30 mA.
•
Avoid bodily contact with earthed
parts (e.g. metal fences, metal posts).
•
Use only authorised power cables of
type H05VV-F or H05RN-F, which are
no more than 75 m long and suitable
for outdoor use. The power cable wire
cross section must be at least 2.5
mm
. Always completely unroll cable
2
