Electrical safety
• The mains voltage must correspond to the
one marked on the tool’s rating label (230V ~,
50Hz). Do not use other sources of power.
• For the power supply line, the use of a protec-
tive switch (circuit-breaker) with a nominal
breaking current in the range of 10 to 30 mA is
recommended. Consult a qualified electrician.
• Never pass the running tool over the exten-
sion cable to which it is connected, as this
could cut the cable. Mark sure that you always
know where the cable is.
• Use the special cable holder (strain relief) for
the connection of the extension cable.
• Never use the tool when it is raining. Try to
prevent it from getting wet or being exposed
to humidity. Do not leave it outside overnight.
• The power supply cable should be checked
regularly and before each time it is used;
make sure that the cable is not damaged or
worn out. If the cable is not in good condition,
do not use the tool; take it to an authorized
service centre instead.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable
for outdoor use. Keep it away from the cut-
ting area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces or
surfaces with sharp edges and also from heat
and fuels.
• Use only extension cords that are approved
for out-door use and are not lighter than
rubber-sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F
according to DIN/VDE 0282 with a diameter
of at least 1.5 sq. mm. They cords must be
splash-proof.
•
Make sure that all protective devices are fitted
and in good condition.
• Do not operate the tool near underground
electric cables, telephone lines, pipes or hos-
es.
• Before inserting the plug in the mains socket,
make sure that the socket ratings are correct
and correspond to those indicated on the rat-
ing label on the tool.
• The use of the tool is only permitted if the
safety distance provided by the guide bar is
complied with.
• Do not operate the tool on a slope that is too
steep for safe operation. When working on
slopes, slow down your working speed and
make sure you have good footing.
• Before starting the tool, make sure that the
tines are not touching any foreign objects and
are completely free to move.
• Grip guide bar firmly with both hands. Never
operate the tool with only one hand.
• Be aware that the tool may unexpectedly
bounce upward or jump forward if the tines
should strike extremely hard, packed soil, fro-
zen ground, or buried obstacles such as large
stones, roots or stumps.
• Keep your hands, feet or any other part of your
body or clothing away from the rotating tines.
Caution! Danger of injury!
• Only guide the tool at walking pace. Do not
overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Be aware of the position of the extension cord
during operation. Be careful not to trip over the
cord. Make sure to guide the cord away from
the tines at all times.
• If the tool strikes a foreign body, examine the
tool for signs of damage and carry out any
necessary repairs before restarting and con-
tinuing to work.
• If the tool should start to vibrate abnormally,
switch off the motor and check for the cause,
immediately. Vibration is usually a warning
sign for trouble.
• Hold the guide bar (carrying handle) and lift
the tool to move it from one place to another.
• Always switch off the tool, disconnect the plug
and wait until the application stops before
carrying out maintenance or cleaning work.

after switching off.
