• Never overload the implement.
Always work within the speci-
fied capacity range. Do not use
low-power machines for heavy-
duty work. Do not operate the
implement for purposes for
which it is not intended.
Electrical safety:
CAUTION! The following
states how to avoid ac-
cidents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a
visual inspection of the power
and extension cables for signs
of damage or ageing. Damaged
mains power cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Connect the implement to a
power socket with a RCD (Re-
sidual Current Device) that has
a rated current of not more than
30 mA.
• Always keep the extension ca-
ble well away from the cutting
tools.
Should the power cable be-
come damaged during work,
then instantly disconnect
the power cable from the
mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE
POWER CABLE BEFORE IT
HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
FROM THE MAINS! Risk of
electric shock.
• If the power cable for this
equipment is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufac-
turer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly quali-
fied person in order to prevent
hazards.
• Keep the extension cables
away from the sprung tines.
The tines may damage the ca-
bles and result in contact with
live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage
is the same as indicated on the
rating plate.
• Avoid body contact with
earthed parts (e.g. metal fenc-
es, metal posts). There is an
increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed.
• Only use approved extension
cables of the type H05RN-F
with a maximum length of 75 m
and which have been approved
for open-air use. The stranded
cord diameter of the extension
cable must be at least 2.5 mm
Always unreel a cable drum to
its full length so that the entire
cable can be checked for dam-
age.
• Use the envisaged cable sus-
pension when attaching an ex-
tension cable.
• Never pull the cable to discon-
nect the plug from the socket.
Protect the cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
• If the connecting cable is dam-
aged, first disconnect the ex-
tension cable from the socket.
You can then disconnect the
connecting cable of the equip-
ment.
