terrain. Always work across slopes -
never up and down! Be particularly
careful when changing the travelling
direction. Do not work on very steep
slopes.
• Always guide the implement at a walk-
ing pace with both hands on the han-
dle. Be especially careful when you
turn the implement around or draw it
towards you. Danger of stumbling!
• Start or actuate the starting lever with
care and in conformity with the direc-
tions in these Instructions.
• Do not tilt the implement when start-
ing, other than it has to be lifted. In
this case tilt the implement only to the
extent that is absolutely necessary
and always lift the implement on the
side that is opposite to the operator.
• Never operate the implement without
the attached collection bag or impact
protector. Danger of injury! Always
keep well away from the ejector open-
ing.
• Do not operate the implement in the vi-
cinity of inflammable 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 remove plant parts when the
implement is standing completely still.
Ensure that the grass ejector opening
is clean and free.
• Switch off the power when the imple-
ment is to be transported, lifted or tilt-
ed and when traversing other surfaces
than grass.
• Never leave the implement unattend-
ed 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 open-
ing or unblock or unclog the imple-
ment
- When the implement is not being
used
- During all maintenance and clean-
ing work
- When the power cable is damaged
or has become tangled
- When the implement hits an ob-
struction 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 imple-
ment and any resulting harm to
people:
Take care of your implement
• Switch off the power when the imple-
ment is to be carried across steps.
• Inspect the implement each time be-
fore it is to be used. Never operate the
implement if safety devices (e.g. im-
pact protector, parts of the cutting fa-
cility 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 recom-
mended by the manufacturer. The use
of alien parts results in the immediate
loss of all guarantee claims.
