ment when barefoot or when
wearing open sandals.
Do not wear loose clothing or

Before each use, carry out a
visual inspection of the equip-
ment. Do not use the equip-
ment if protective devices (e.g.
collision guard or grass bag),
parts of the cutting device or
bolts are missing, worn or da-
maged. To avoid imbalance,
damaged tools and bolts are to
be replaced only in sets.

cessories supplied and recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
The use of non-original parts
will immediately invalidate the

Prior to use, always check the
cord and extension cord for
signs of damage or wear. Im-
mediately disconnect the cord
from the mains in case it is da-
maged in use. Do not touch the
cord until it is unplugged. Do
not operate the appliance if the
cord is worn or damaged.
