Do not operate the implement in the
vicinity of in-flammable liquids or gases
as this could give rise to the danger of a
fire or explosion.
Work intervals:
After the implement has been turned off,
the cutting cylinder will continue to rotate
for a few seconds. Keep hands and feet
well away.
Only shift working depth when the
implement is completely still standing.
Only remove plant parts and soil when
the imple-ment is standing completely
still.
Switch off the power when the
implement is to be transported，
lifted or
tilted and when traversing other surfaces
than soil.
Never leave the implement unattended
at the place of work.
Always switch off the implement and
disconnect the power plug:
Whenever you leave the implement
Before you clean the ejector opening
or unblock or unclog the implement
When the implement is not being used
During all maintenance and cleaning
work
When the power cable is damaged or
has become tangled
When the implement hits an
obstruction during work or when
unusual vibrations arise. Establish the
cause and see if the implement has
been damaged.
Do not repair it yourself! Have the
implement re-paired by an authorised
workshop!
Store the implement in a dry place well
out of reach of children.
CAUTION!
The following states how to avoid
damage to the implement and any resulting
harm to people:
Take care of your implement
Switch off the power when the implement
is to be carried across steps.
lnspect the implement each time before it
is to be used. Never operate the
implement if safety de-vices (e.g. impact
protector，
parts of the cutting facility or
bolts are missing, worn out or damaged.
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 recommended by
the manufactur-er. 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 implement is in a safe working state.
Never try to repair the implement yourself,
other than you have been trained
accordingly. All work that has not been
listed in these Instructions must only be
carried out by authorised servicing agen-
cies.
Treat the implement with the greatest care.
Always keep the tool clean for better and
safer work. Follow the maintenance
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 acci-dents and injuries due to electric
shock:
Before each use, carry out a visual
inspection of the power and extension
cables for signs of dam-age or ageing.
lf 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 person 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.
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 indi-cated on the rating plate.
Wherever possible connect the implement
to a power socket with a residual- current
circuit break-er 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 HO5VV-F or H05RN-F with a
maximum length of 75 m and which have
been approved for open-airuse.The
stranded cord diameter of the extension
cable must be at least 2.5 mm2. 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
attach-ing an extension cable.
Never pull the cable to disconnect the
plug from the socket. Protect the cable
from heat，
oil and sharp edges.
lf the connecting cable is damaged, first
disconnect the extension cable from the
socket. You can then disconnect the
connecting cable of the equipment.
lf 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 person in
order to prevent hazards.

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
ac-cordance with instructions, certain
residual risks
cannot be ruled out. The
following hazards may
arise in connection
with the equipment's con-struction and
layout:
1.Damage to hearing if no suitable ear
protection is used.
2.Health damage caused by hand-arm
vibrations if the equipment is used over a
prolonged period or is not properly guided
and maintained.
3.Even when all safety measures are taken,
some remaining hazards which are not yet
evident may still be present.
4.Remaining hazards can be minimized by
follow-ing the instructions in Safety
Precautions, Proper Use and in the entire
operating manual.
5.lnjuries caused by the rotating blade.
6.Health risks caused by electricity. When
incor-rect or damaged mains cables are
used. Follows instructions in the manual
Electrical Connections.
