iar with these operating instructions.
Local regulations may specify the
minimum age of the operator.
• Do not use the equipment when peo-
ple and particularly children or pets

• The operator or user is responsible for
accidents, injuries to other people or
damage to the property of others.
• Check the terrain on which the equip-
ment is to be used and remove

• Before each use, carry out a visual in-
spection of the equipment. Do not use
the equipment if protective devices
(e.g. collision guard or grass bag),
parts of the cutting device or bolts are
missing, worn or damaged. To avoid
imbalance, damaged tools and bolts
are to be replaced only in sets.
• Take care with equipment that has
several cutting tools, as the move-
ment of one blade may result in the
rotation of the other blades.
• Use only spare parts and accessories
supplied and recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of non-original
parts will immediately invalidate the
guarantee.
• Prior to use, always check the cord
and extension cord for signs of dam-
age or wear. Immediately disconnect
the cord from the mains in case it is
damaged in use. Do not touch the
cord until it is unplugged. Do not oper-
ate the appliance if the cord is worn or
damaged.

tired, lacking concentration or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Al -
ways take breaks in good time. Take a
