plement if safety devices (e.g. impact
protector, parts of the cutting facility
or bolts are missing, worn out or dam-
aged. Check especially the power
cable and starting lever for damage.
To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts
must be exchanged as complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories
that have been supplied or recom-
mended by the manufacturer. The use
of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims.
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are firmly tightened and that the imple-
ment is in a safe working state.
• Never try to repair the implement your-
self, other than you have been trained
accordingly. All work that has not
been listed in these Instructions must
only be carried out by authorised serv-
icing agencies.
• Treat the implement with the greatest
care. Always keep the tool clean for
better and safer work. Follow the main-
tenance instructions.
• Never overload the implement. Always
work within the specified capacity
range. Do not use low-power machines
for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
implement for purposes for which it is not
intended.
Electrical.safety:
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a visual
inspection of the power and extension
cables for signs of damage or ageing.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
• Keep the power cable well away from
the cutting tools. Should the power
cable become damaged during work,
then instantly disconnect the power
cable from the mains.
DO NOT touch the power cable
before it has been disconnected
from the mains.
• Keep the extension cables away from
the teeth. The teeth may damage the
cables and result in contact with live
parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the
same as indicated on the rating plate.
• Wherever possible connect the imple-
ment to a power socket with a residual-
current circuit breaker that has a rated
current of not more than 30 mA.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts).
• Only use approved extension cables
of the type H05VV-F or H05RN-F with
a maximum length of 75 m and which
have been approved for open-air use.
The stranded cord diameter of the
extension cable must be at least 2.5
mm
2
. Always unreel a cable drum to its
full length so that the entire cable can
be checked for damage.
• Use the envisaged cable suspension
when attaching an extension cable.
• Never pull the cable to disconnect the
plug from the socket. Protect the cable
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• If the connecting cable is damaged,
first disconnect the extension cable
from the socket. You can then discon-
nect the connecting cable of the equip-
ment.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
