cially children or pets, are close by.
• Familiarise yourself with handling the

Keep your hands and feet away
from the tines while working, espe-
cially when starting up the tool – in-
jury hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention regula-
tions and local by-laws. Using the
tool may be limited or prohibited on
certain days such as Sundays or public
holidays, or during certain times of the
day (midday, at night) or in certain
areas (such as at health spas and hos-
pitals).
• Do not use the tool to chop up stones
or till lawn soil, as such use may dam-
age the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul weath-
er or damp surroundings (such as near
garden ponds or swimming pools).
Only use in daylight or good lighting
conditions.
• Be sensible. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or easily distracted, or after
the use of alcohol or medicines. Take a
break as soon as you need one.
• Make sure that you are standing firmly
when using the tool, especially on
slopes. If working on a slope, work
along the slope, not upwards or down-
wards. Be particularly careful when
changing direction on the slope. Do
not use the tool on excessively steep
slopes.
• If there is any danger of slipping on
sloped ground, have a second person
secure the tool with a rod or cable.
The second person should stand up the
slope at a safe distance from the tool.
• Always hold the tool securely in both
hands while working with it.
• Make sure that the grips are dry and
clean. Be careful while moving back-
wards – danger of tripping over!
• Take particular care when turning or
raising the machine.
• If the chopping knife is blocked by a
foreign body, switch off the equipment
