General safety notes

Warning! Improper use of this tool

may lead to serious injury. Read
this instruction manual carefully
before you start working with the
tool, and familiarise yourself with
its controls.

• Keep the manual in a safe place and
pass it on to any subsequent owner to
ensure that the information it contains
is always available.

• Remember: the user is responsible
for accidents involving other people or
their property.

Please read the following safety

guidelines in order to avoid risk of
re, electric shock, personal injury
and damage to objects:

Preparation:

• The equipment is to be used only by
people who are adequately trained.

• For safety reasons, do not allow
children or young people under 16
or anyone not familiarised with this
instruction manual to use the tool.

• This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv­en supervision or instruction concern­ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children must be supervised in order
to ensure that they do not play with
the equipment.

• Never use the tool while others, espe­cially children or pets, are close by.

• Familiarise yourself with handling the
tool and pay attention to all possible
dangers that may be overheard while
working with the tool.

• Check the terrain on which you will
be using the tool, and remove stones,
sticks, wires or other foreign objects
that may be caught up and spun off.

• Wear proper working clothes, such as
rm footwear with non-slip soles and
strong long trousers. Do not use the
tool barefoot or wearing open-toed
sandals.

• To prevent injury from the tines, only
switch the tool on in its working posi­tion.

• Examine the tool beforehand every
time you use it. Do not use the tool
when the safety components (such as
the power safety catch or guard), cut­ting parts or bolts are missing, worn
or damaged. In particular, check the
mains cable and dead-man lever for
damage.

• Only replace damaged bolts or tines
in complete sets to prevent imbal­ance.

• Only use replacement and accessory
parts delivered and recommended by
the manufacturer. Using foreign parts
will immediately lead to loss of guar­antee.

Working with the tool:

Keep your hands and feet away

from the tines while working, es­pecially when starting up the tool
– injury hazard!

• Observe any noise-prevention regu­lations and local by-laws. Using the
tool may be limited or prohibited on
certain days such as Sundays or pub­lic holidays, or during certain times of
the day (midday, at night) or in certain
areas (such as at health spas and
hospitals).

• Do not use the tool to chop up stones
or till lawn soil, as such use may dam­age the tool.

• Do not use the tool in rain, foul
weather or damp surroundings (such
as near garden ponds or swimming
pools). Only use in daylight or good
lighting conditions.

• Be sensible. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or easily distracted, or after
the use of alcohol or medicines. Take
a break as soon as you need one.

• Make sure that you are standing rmly
when using the tool, especially on
slopes. If working on a slope, work
along the slope, not upwards or down­wards. Be particularly careful when
changing direction on the slope. Do
not use the tool on excessively steep
slopes.

• If there is any danger of slipping on
sloped ground, have a second person
secure the tool with a rod or cable.
The second person should stand up
the slope at a safe distance from the
tool.

• Always hold the tool securely in both
hands while working with it.

• Make sure that the grips are dry and
clean. Be careful while moving back­wards – danger of tripping over!

• Take particular care when turning or
raising the machine.

• If the chopping knife is blocked by a
foreign body, switch off the equipment
and disconnect at the plug. Remove
the foreign body (e.g. root) before re­starting the equipment.

• Do not use the tool if it is damaged,
incomplete or altered without the ap­proval of the manufacturer. In particu­lar, do not work with the tool if guards
or protection ttings are damaged or
missing.

• Do not overload the tool. Only work in
the performance range stated. Do not
use tools that do not have sufcient
power for heavy jobs. Do not use the
tool for any use other than that intend­ed by the manufacturer.

• Avoid damage to the tool. Do not ap­ply extra weight and do not drag the
tool over hard surfaces such as tiles
or steps.

Stopping work:

Warning! The tines will continue

to turn for a few seconds after you
switch the tool off. Wait until they
have stopped moving – injury haz­ard!

• Do not lift or transport the tool while
the motor is running. Turn the tool off
and wait for the tines to stop mov­ing, then disconnect the tool from the
mains before changing the area you
are working on.

• Never leave the tool unattended
where you were using it.

• Switch the tool off, wait for the tines to
stop moving and disconnect the tool
from the mains under the following
circumstances:

- Always before leaving the tool.

- Before removing remnants of soil
and plants

- When the tool is not in use

- Before you conduct maintenance
or cleaning work on the tool
