Proper use
The user is responsible for third parties while working with the appliance.
Only use the appliance for its designed purposes.
Do not operate the appliance near underground electric cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses.
Before inserting the plug in the mains socket, make sure that the socket ratings are correct and
correspond to those indicated on the rating label on the appliance.
The use of the appliance is only permitted if the safety distance provided by the guide bar is complied
with.
Do not operate the appliance on a slope that is too steep for safe operation. When on slopes, slow
down and make sure you have good footing.
Before starting the appliance make sure the tines are not touching foreign objects and must be
completely free to move.
Grip guide bar firmly with both hands. Never operate the appliance with one hand.
Be aware that the appliance may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump forward if the tines should
strike extremely hard, packed soil, frozen ground, or buried obstacles such as large stones, roots or
stumps.
Do not put hands, feet or any body part or clothing in the vicinity of the rotating tines.
Caution! Risk of injury!
Only guide the appliance at a walking pace. Do not over reach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all
times.
Be aware of the extension cable during operation. Be careful not to trip over the cable. Always guide the
cable away from tines at all times.
If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the appliance for signs of damage and carry out any
necessary repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
If the appliance should start to vibrate abnormally, switch off the motor and check for the cause
immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Hold the guide bar and lift the application to move it from one place to another.
Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the plug and wait until the appliance stops before carrying out
checking, cleaning, maintenance, or when it is not in use.
Caution! Tines do not stop immediately after switching off.
Electrical safety
If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
The mains voltage must correspond to the one marked on the techN1Cal data plate (230V-50Hz). Do
not use other sources of power.
The use of a safety circuit-breaker is recommended for the power cable for an intervention range of 10
to 30mA. Consult a reliable electrician.
