9. Faults
If you have any problem with
your Chaff Cutter, please contact
our Service, or return the defec-
tive unit together with a short
description of the problem and,
in case of guarantee,
with a copy
of the receipt to one of the
GARDENA service centres listed
on the rear page.
We expressly point out that,
according to the product lia-
bility law, we are not liable for
any damage caused by our
units if, in case of repair or
exchange, other than original
GARDENA parts are used and
repair is not carried out by a
GARDENA service centre or
an authorised specialist.
The same also applies to spare
parts and accessories.
The Chaff Cutter must not be
tilted or tipped when in opera-
tion.
Do not put stones, soil, glass,
textiles, plastics or metal parts
into the Chaff Cutter. These
materials will seriously damage
the cutting tool. There is also
the danger of being hit by ma-
terial thrown back out of the
Chaff Cutter.
When the chaff cutter is
plugged in, never reach into
the ejection shaft / feeding
funnel. Danger of injury!
If foreign bodies fall into the
cylinder or if unusual sounds
or vibrations occur, switch off
the Chaff Cutter immediately
and wait until the cylinder has
stopped moving. Remove the
obstacle. Check the Chaff
Cutter for any damage / loose
parts and if necessary have
your chaff cutter repaired.
A
Interruptions of Work
Never leave the Chaff Cutter
unattended at the working area.
If you interrupt your work
store the unit in a safe place.
Disconnect the mains plug!
If you wish to move the Chaff
Cutter to another place, switch
off the motor, remove the plug
and wait until the cylinder
stops moving before moving
the Chaff Cutter.
A
Check the Environment
Never use the unit when it is
raining or in damp or wet areas.
Do not operate your Chaff
Cutter near swimming pools
or garden ponds.
Please observe the prescribed
local quiet times.
A
Electric Safety
The Chaff Cutter must only be
operated with undamaged elec-
tric cable. If the electric cable
or the extension cable is dam-
aged disconnect the mains
plug immediately.
Check the power cable re-
gularly for damage and signs
of wear and tear.
The socket of an extension
cable should be water-proof
or the connection sockets
for extension cables must be
made of rubber or be encased
in rubber according to DIN
VDE 0620.
Only use permitted extension
cables. Ask your electrician.
For portable units, which are
used outdoors, we recommend
to use a residual-current de-
vice having a residual-current
rating
≤≤
30 mA.
In Switzerland use of a
residual-current device is
obligatory.
