Safety instructions

 

WARNING!

Risk of electric shock!

A faulty electrical installation or excessive mains voltage may result 

in an electric shock.

 

− Only connect the lawn mower and if applicable, the extension 

cord if the mains voltage of the socket corresponds to the rating 

plate specification.

 

− Only connect the lawn mower to an easily accessible socket so that 

you can quickly disconnect it and the extension cord from the 

mains in case of a failure.

 

− Do not operate the lawn mower if it is visibly damaged or if the 

power cable or mains plug is defective.

 

− Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current 

of max. 30 mA. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

 

− Only connect the power cable and if applicable, the extension 

cord in dry indoor areas.

 

− Only use an extension cord which is approved for outdoor use.

 

The wire cross-section of the extension cord must be at least 

1.5 mm

2

. Always fully unwind the cable reel before use.

 

− If the power cable of the lawn mower is damaged, it must be 

replaced with a special connector cable that can be obtained 

from the manufacturer or its customer service department.
