Electrical safety:
Warning! Do not use the tool
if the mains or extension ca-
ble is damaged – danger of
electrical shock.
• Keep the mains cable away
from the tines. Always trail the
mains cable behind you or the
person operating the tool. If the
cable becomes damaged dur-
ing use, immediately disconnect
it from the mains.
Never touch the mains cable
before unplugging it from the
mains.
• Make sure that the mains volt-
age matches the data on the
tool's rating label.
• Avoid skin contact with earthed
objects such as metal fences
and posts.
• Make sure that the connector on
the extension cable is protected
from splash water, and is made
of rubber or has a rubber cover-
ing. Only use extension cables
that are intended for outdoor
use and are labelled as such.
Use extension cables with a
cable core diameter of at least
one square millimetre. Always
completely unwind the cable
reel before use. Check the ca-
ble for damage.
• Use the cable hanger fitted for
the purpose when using an ex-
tension cable.
• Do not carry the tool by the ca-
ble. Do not unplug the cable by
tugging on it. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.

• Connect the appliance to a
power socket with a residual
current circuit breaker of rated
residual current no more than
30 mA.
Assembly instructions
Always disconnect the tool
from the mains before con-
ducting any work on it.
While assembling the tool,
make sure that the mains
cable (2) does not become
caught and has enough
slack.
Fitting the grip tubing
1. Push the two fork grips (1a/1b)
B
into the plastic cross-plate (3),
and screw the plate into the
corresponding holes in the grip
tubing using the bolts provided
(13).
2. Screw both central tubes (4) onto
the fork handles (1a/1b). To do
this, push the enclosed screws
(14) inwards through the holes
and screw them in place with the
wing nuts (15).
3. Position the handle rod with the
pipe ends to the left and right
on the lower frame tubing (
