2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
also be maintained in relation to objects (vehi‐
cles, window panes) – risk of property damage!
Even at distances beyond 15 m, the danger can‐
not be ruled out.
Check the work site – rocks, metal
objects etc. could get caught up and
ejected – potentially beyond a dis‐
tance of 15 m – risk of injury! Such
objects can also damage the cutting
attachment and other property (e.g.
parked vehicles, windows).
Never work without protection suitable for the
respective machine and cutting tool – risk of
injury from ejected objects!
Do not cut wet grass.
Take care in slippery conditions on slopes and
uneven ground.
Keep the connecting cord behind the power tool
at all times – do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
Watch out for obstacles: Tree stumps, roots –
risk of tripping or stumbling!
Only work while standing on the ground, never
on a ladder, work platform or other unstable sur‐
face.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired or feel‐
ing fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Proceed with
caution, do not put others in danger.
Be particularly careful when working on difficult,
densely grown terrain.
When mowing in high bushes, under shrubbery
and hedges: Hold the cutting tool at a working
height of at least 15 cm – to avoid risks to ani‐
mals.
Check the cutting tool regularly at frequent inter‐
vals, and immediately if you notice a change in
its behavior:
– Switch off the tool, hold it firmly and press the
cutting attachment into the ground to bring it to
a standstill, and disconnect the plug from the
power supply.
– Check condition and tightness of connections,
look out for fine cracks
– Immediately replace defective cutting tools,
also in the event of minor hairline cracks
0458-282-9821-C
– Clean grass and plant residue off the cutting
attachment mounting at regular intervals –
remove any accumulated material from the
cutting attachment and deflector.
Always switch off the tool and unplug it from the
power supply before replacing the cutting attach‐
ment. Risk of injury from the motor starting unin‐
tentionally!
Do not continue using or attempt to repair dam‐
aged or cracked cutting attachments by means
of welding, straightening or modifying the shape
(unbalanced).
Particles or pieces may come off and hit the
operator or a bystander at a high speed – risk of
most severe injuries!
If a rotating cutting attachment touches a rock or
another hard object, sparks may be generated
which may possibly ignite combustible materials.
Dried-out plants and undergrowth are combusti‐
ble, especially in hot and dry weather. If there is
a risk of fire, do not use cutting attachments in
the vicinity of combustible materials, dried-out
plants or brushwood. It is mandatory that you ask
the responsible forestry office about current fire
hazards.
Only use the deflector with properly mounted
blade that ensures the mowing line is restricted
to the permissible length.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid contact with
the blade.
To reduce the risk of injury, always switch off the
tool and unplug it from the power supply before
manually adjusting the mowing line.
Misuse with mowing lines that are too long
reduces the working speed of the engine. This
results in overheating and damage to the motor.
To reduce the risk of injury, never use wire in
place of the nylon cutting line.
If the unit is subjected to unusual stress for which
it was not designed (e.g., heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in safe operating condition
before continuing work – see also "Before Start‐
ing Work". Make sure the safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue operating your
machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, con‐
tact a dealer.
Before leaving the machine unattended: Turn it
off and disconnect the mains plug.
