▪ Be aware that the application may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump forward if the
tines should strike extremely hard, packed soil, frozen ground, or buried obstacles such as
large stones, roots or stumps.
▪ Do not put hands, feet or any body part or clothing in the vicinity of rotating tines. Caution!
Risk of injury!
▪ Only guide the appliance at walking pace. Do not over reach. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times.
▪ Be aware of extension cord while operation. Be careful not to trip over cord. Always guide
the cord away from tines at all times.
▪ If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the application for signs of damage and
carry out any necessary repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
▪ If the appliance should start to vibrate abnormally, switch off the motor and check for the
cause immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
▪ Holding the guide bar and lift the application to move it from one place to another.
▪ Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the plug and wait until the application stops
before carrying out maintenance or cleaning work. Caution! Tines do not stop immediately
after switching off.
▪ Use caution when cleaning or performing maintenance on the appliance. DANGER! Watch
your fingers! Wear gloves!
▪ It is forbidden to move or modify any of the electrical and mechanical safety devices.
6.3 Electrical safety
▪ The mains voltage must correspond to the one marked on the technical data plate (230
V~50 Hz). Do not use other sources of power.
▪ The use of a safety circuit-breaker is recommended for the power supply line for an
intervention range of 10 to 30 rated mA. Consult a reliable electrician.
▪ Never pass the appliance over the extension cable that the application is working, as this
could cut the cable. Mark sure you always know where the cable is.
▪ Use the special cable holder for the connection of the extension cable.
▪ Never use the appliance when it is raining. Try to prevent it from getting wet or being
exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside overnight. Do not cut damp or wet grass.
▪ The power supply cable should be checked regularly and before using it each time, make
sure the cable is not damaged or old out. If the cable is not in good condition, do not use
the appliance; take it to an authorized service centre instead.
▪ Only use an extension cable that is suitable for outdoor work. Keep it away from the
cutting area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces or with sharp edges and away from heat and
fuels.
▪ The mobile socket of the extension cable should be splash proof in compliance with DIN
57282 and VDE 0282 regulations; the cross-section of the wire (max. length 75 m) should
be at least 1.5 mm². Use H07RN-F harmonized cable.
7 GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
▪ Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and
overheating.
▪ Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord, or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect
your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
▪ Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
