Take special care in slippery conditions
(ice, wet ground, snow) – on slopes or
uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots and tree
stumps which could cause you to trip or
stumble.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult
your servicing dealer.
Special care must be taken when
working in difficult, over-grown terrain.
The dust that occurs during operation
may be harmful to health. If dust levels
are very high, wear a suitable respirator.
Before leaving the power tool
unattended: Always switch off the power
tool, set the retaining latch to ƒ and
remove the battery.
Check the cutting attachment at regular
short intervals during operation or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
– Switch off the motor, move the
retaining latch to ƒ and wait for the
cutting attachment to come to a
standstill, remove the battery.
– Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
Clean grass and plant residue off the
cutting attachment mounting at regular
intervals – remove any build up of
material from the cutting attachment and
deflector.
To replace the cutting attachment,
switch off the power tool, move the
retaining latch to ƒ and remove the
battery. This avoids the risk of injury
from the motor starting unintentionally.
Never continue using or attempt to
repair damaged or cracked cutting
attachments.
This may cause parts of the cutting
attachment to come off and hit the
operator or bystanders at high speed
and result in serious or fatal injuries.
Use only the deflector with properly
mounted line limiting blade to ensure the
mowing lines are automatically trimmed
to the approved length.
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool with a cloth – do not use any grease
solvents for this purpose.
Do not spray the mowing head or
deflector with water or immerse them in
water as this may damage the drive
motor and electronic control unit in the
motor housing.
Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of
the motor starting unintentionally.
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects,
never operate the
power tool without
the proper deflec-
tor for the type of
cutting attachment
being used.
Inspect the work area:
Stones, pieces of metal
or other solid objects may
be thrown more than 15
meters and cause per-
sonal injury or damage
the cutting attachment
and property (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
