Caution – do not touch the rotating blade.
Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage
is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for nonEU countries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). Only use approved extension
cables.
Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply with H05VVF, H05RNF types or IEC type
design (60227 IEC 53, 60245 IEC 57).
If you want to use an extension cable when operating your product, only the following cable dimen‑
sions should be used:
• 1.0 mm
2
: max. length 40 m
• 1.5 mm
2
: max. length 60 m
• 2.5 mm
2
: max. length 100 m
Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and connected through the plug to the earth
cable of your supply network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.
WARNING! Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. Extension cable, plug and socket
must be of watertight construction and intended for outdoor use.
Cable connections should be kept dry and off the ground.
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tri‑
pping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use it.
The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be
used if in perfect condition.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced.
Maintenance

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the machine is in safe working condition.
• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
• Examine the machine and replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Ensure replacement cutting means of the right type are used.
