12. Stay alert at all times. Pay at-
tention to what you are doing.
Use your common sense. Do not use
motorised tools when you are tired.
Work with the equipment must not
be carried out under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medications, which
impair reactions.
13. Filling with fuel.
• Always adhere to the current fire regu-
lations and the respective state/federal
regulations for fire prevention.
• Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flam-
mable. Do not fill with fuel when the
engine is running or still hot. When fill-
ing up, ensure good ventilation. Smok-
ing and open flames are prohibited.
• Always switch off the engine before
filling. Always open the filler cap with
care, so any excess pressure present
can be relieved slowly and no fuel
sprays out. The work with the equip-
ment causes high temperatures on the
housing. The equipment must therefore
be allowed to cool before filling. Oth-
erwise, the fuel could ignite and cause
serious injuries.
• When filling with fuel, ensure that the
tank is not overfilled. If liquid misses,
this must be cleared away immediately
and the equipment cleaned.
• After filling, ensure that the seal screw
is sitting properly in order to prevent
it from coming loose as a result of the
vibrations caused during the work.
• Watch out for leaks. Do not start the
engine if fuel is leaking. Risk of death
as a result of burns!
14. Usage duration and breaks.
Prolonged use of this motorised de-
vice can lead to problems with the
blood circulation in the hands caused
by vibrations (Raynaud's syndrome).
However, the usage duration can be
38
extended with suitable gloves or regu-
lar breaks. Be aware that personal ten-
dency to poor circulation, low external
temperatures and high gripping forces
will reduce the usage duration when
working.
15. Be aware of damaged parts. If
the device suffers a heavy impact or is
dropped, check it for signs of damage
and wear before putting it back into
operation. Are individual parts dam-
aged? In case of slight damage ask
seriously whether the tool will nonethe-
less work properly and safely. Ensure
correct alignment and adjustment of
moving parts. Do the parts interlock
correctly? Are parts damaged? Is eve-
rything correctly installed? Are all the
other requirements in place for proper
functioning? Damaged safety devices
etc must be repaired or replaced by
authorised people if there is no ex-
planation otherwise in the operating
instructions. Defective switches must
be replaced by an authorised body.
If repairs are required, please contact
a customer service centre authorised
by us.
16. Always switch off the engine
before undertaking adjustments
or maintenance work. This par-
ticularly applies for work on the thread
reel.
17. Use only authorised parts. In
case of maintenance and repair, use
only identical spare parts. Spare parts
are available from our online shop (see
"Spare parts/Accessories").
Warning! The use of other
mowing heads as well as
accessories and attachments
that are not explicitly recom-
mended can result in danger
