• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• To prevent injury from the
tines, only switch the tool on in
its working position.
• Examine the tool beforehand
every time you use it. Do not
use the tool when the safety
components (such as the pow-
er safety catch or guard), cut-
ting parts or bolts are missing,
worn or damaged. In particular,
check the mains cable and
dead-man lever for damage.
• Only replace damaged bolts or
tines in complete sets to pre-
vent imbalance.
• Only use replacement and ac-
cessory parts delivered and
recommended by the manu-
facturer. Using foreign parts
will immediately lead to loss of
guarantee.
Working with the tool:
Keep your hands and feet
away from the tines while
working, especially when
starting up the tool – injury
hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention
regulations and local by-laws.
• Do not use the tool to chop up
stones or till lawn soil, as such
use may damage the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul
weather or damp surroundings
(such as near garden ponds or
swimming pools). Only use in
daylight or good lighting condi-
tions.
• 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 stand-
ing firmly when using the tool,
especially on slopes. If work-
ing 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 slip-
ping 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 backwards – danger of
tripping over!
• Take particular care when turn-
ing or raising the machine.
• If the chopping knife is blocked
by a foreign body, switch off
the equipment and discon-
nect at the plug. Remove the
foreign body (e.g. root) before
restarting the equipment.
