Electrical safety
Check the connector plug on the machine fits into the
•
socket before use.
Never modify the connector plug.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
•
pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the extension cable regularly for damage to the
•
insulation. Replace it if damaged.
If the connecting cable is damaged, withdraw the mains
•
plug immediately. A damaged cable may cause contact
with live parts and electric shock.
Never use damaged cord.
•
Keep the cord and extension cable away from cutting
•
tools and wheels. Cutting tools may damage the cable
and cause electric shock.
When using the machine outdoors, always use a
•
residual current-operated circuit-breaker (RCD) with an
operating current of 30 mA or less.
Use only extension cable for outdoor use with splash-
•
proofed connector. Its cross-section must be at least
for cable lengths up to 25m, and 2.5 mm
1.mm
cable lengths over 25m.
The machine should be connected only to a power
•
supply of the same voltage as indicated on the
nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase
AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance
with European Standard and can, therefore, also be
used from sockets without earth wire.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
•
(e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
Operation
Avoid operating on wet grass. Take particular attention
•
when working on wet grass to prevent slipping.
Hold the handle firmly with both hands during operation.
•
Keep the handle dry and clean to prevent accidents.
Do not run. Only walk during operation.
•
Pay particular attention to your footings when working
•
on a slope.
Do not work straight up or down on a slope. Always
•
work along horizontal line.
Be especially careful when turning the machine on a
•
slope.
Never work on a steep slope.
•
Pay extreme attention when reversing or pulling the
•
machine towards you.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
•
all times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Always remember:
•
Keep your feet away from the cutting tools.
–
Do not tilt the machine.
–
Do not stand in front of the discharge opening.
–
Never let your hands or other part of the body or
–
clothing place near moving parts.
Do not force the machine. It does the job better and
•
safer at the rate for which it was designed. Frequent
overload may cause motor damage or fire.
