If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting". Make sure the safety
devices are working properly. Never use
a power tool that is no longer safe to
operate. In case of doubt, contact a
dealer.
To reduce the risk of injuryfrom thrown
objects, never operate the unit without a
properly mounted deflector designed
specifically for the unit and the
attachment.
Special care must be taken when
working in overgrown terrain.
When clearing leaves, take care not to
harm small animals.
Check the sweeping attachments at
regular short intervals during operation
or immediately if there is a sudden
change in behavior:
–
Shut off the engine, hold the
machine securely.
–
Check condition and proper
mounting.
–
Replace damaged sweeping
attachments immediately.
Before you leave the machine: Shut the
engine off.
Regularly clean the cutting attachment
mounting and remove any blockages
and material that has accumulated
between the sweeping attachments or
around the deflector.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the
engine before changing attachments.
