of 15 meters of your own
position. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also
maintain this distance from
other objects (vehicles,
windows). Even maintaining a
distance of 15 meters or more
cannot exclude the potential
danger.
Inspect the work
area: Stones,
pieces of metal or
other solid objects
may be thrown
more than 15
meters and cause
personal injury or
damage the cutting
attachment and
property (e.g.
parked vehicles,
windows).
To reduce the risk of injury
from thrown objects, never
operate the power tool without
the proper deflector for the
type of cutting attachment
being used.
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:
Roots and tree stumps which
could cause you to trip or
stumble.
Always stand on the ground
while working, never on a
ladder, work platform or any
other insecure support.
Be particularly alert and
cautious when wearing
hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings
(shouts, alarms, etc.) is
restricted.
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.
Special care must be taken
when working in difficult, over-
grown terrain.
Check the cutting attachment
at regular short intervals
during operation or
immediately if there is a
noticeable change in cutting
behavior:
Switch off the power 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, look for cracks.
Replace damaged cutting
–
attachments immediately,
even if they have only
superficial 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.
Always switch off the power
tool and unplug it from the
power supply before replacing
the cutting attachment This
avoids the risk of injury from
the motor starting
unintentionally.
