parks, and sports facilities as well as in agriculture and forestry on
a commercial basis.

servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the manufacturer
and following the safety instructions included in the instructions.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The manu-

the user bears the sole risk.
Unauthorised modifications on the garden shredder exclude a
liability of the manufacturer for damages of any kind resulting
from it.

about possible risks are allowed to prepare, operate and service
this device. Repair works may only be carried out by us or by a
customer service agent nominated by us.
