and screws are tightened and
the appliance is in a safe
working condition.
■
Regularly check the grass
catcher for wear or loss of
functional capability.
■
Replace worn or damaged
parts due to safety reasons.
■
On appliances fitted with sev-
eral cutting blades, note that
the movement of one cutting
blade can cause the other cut-
ting blades to rotate.
■
When adjusting the appliance,
make sure that your fingers
are not trapped between mov-
ing cutting blades and station-
ary parts of the appliance.
■
Allow the engine to cool down
before storing the appliance.

ting blades can be moved
even when the power supply
is switched off.

3.2 Vibration load
■
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the
441600_d
vibration emissions during the
use of the appliance may de-
viate from that stated by the
manufacturer. Observe the
following influencing factors
before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used
as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or
processed in the proper
manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper
condition of use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly
sharpened or is the correct
cutting tool installed?
■
Are the handle grips and
any optional vibration grips
mounted, and are they
firmly attached to the appli-
ance?
■
Only operate the tool at the
motor speed required for the
respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order
to reduce noise and vibra-
tions.
■
The noise and vibrations of
the tool may increase due to
improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health
damage. In this case, immedi-
ately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an autho-
rised service workshop.
