damage- or- ageing- before- use.- Do- not- use- a- device-
with-defective-cables.
b)- Pull-the-mains-plug-in-case-the-cable-gets-damaged-
during-use.-Do-not-touch-the-cable-under-any-circum-
stances!
c)- Visually-inspect-the-cutting-unit-for-signs-of-wear-and-
tear-or-damages-each-time-before-you-start-using-the-
device.-If-the-device-starts-to-vibrate-abnormally-it-is-
required-to-inspect-it-immediately!
d)- Do-not-unnecessarily-tilt-the-device-when-starting-the-
motor.- Only- tilt- the- device- as- far- as- necessary- and-
only-lift-the-side-pointing-away-from-the-operator-off-
the- ground.- Make- sure- to- hold- the- device- with- both-
hands- in- working- position- before- you- put- it- back- on-
the-ground.
e)- Safety- devices- must- be- replaced- by- our- after-sales-
service-only.
Warnings:

b)- Do-not-use-the-lawn-aerator-(lawn-rake)-if-the-cables-
are-damaged-or-worn.
c)- Do-not-connect-a-damaged-cable-to-the-mains-supply-
and- do- not- touch- a- damaged- cable- as- long- as- it- is-
