4. Careful handling and use of electrical tools
a) Do not overload the device. Al ways
use an electrical powe r tool that is in-
tended for the task you a re under-
taking. By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical p ower tool if
its switch is defe ctive. An electrical pow-
er tool that can no longer be switched on and
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power too ls are kept out of
reach of childre n. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she i s not fa-
miliar with it or ha s not read the in-
structions and ad vice. Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by in-
experienced people.
d) Look after the devic e carefully.
Check that moving pa rts are working
properly and move free ly. Check for
any parts that are br oken or dam-
aged enough to detri mentally affec t
the functionin g of the device. Have
damaged parts rep aired before you
use the device. Many accidents have their
origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
e) Keep cutting too ls clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to jam and are easier
to control.
f) Use the electrical power tool , acces-
sories, inserted t ools etc. in accord -
ance with these ins tructions and ad -
vice, and the stipu lations drawn up
for this particu lar type of device. In
doing this, take into a ccount the work-
ing conditions and t he task in hand.
The use of electrical power tools for purposes
other than those intended can lead to danger-
ous situations.
Appliance specific safet y notices
Avoid mortal danger caused
by electric shock:
J
Regularly check the condition of the
appliance, the power cables and the
power plugs. Do not use appliances
showing damage to these components. NEVER
open the appliance. Arrange for repair or
component replacement work to be carried out
by the Service Centre or specialists for electri-
cal repairs. Damaged appliances, power ca-
bles or power plugs present a danger to life
through electric shock.
J
Separate the power cable from the
power source in the event of break-
downs, troubleshooting, cleaning
and maintenance!
J
Keep the power cable away from the
curved blade 21 bar! Always have
the cable trailing behind the lawn
mower! In the event of damage to the power ca-
ble immediately remove the plug from the socket!
DO NOT touch the power cable until you have
separated the appliance from the power supply!
J Use exclusively an extension cable that is
certified for use outdoors: One conforming to
H05VV - F or H05RN - F! The plug coupling
must be fitted with rain / spray water protection
(rubber coated).
J Avoid all possibility of contact by the extension
cable with the curved blade bar 21 !
J Lay the extension cable over the shortest and
most direct route to the wall socket to which it
is connected!
J Before making the power connection, ensure
that the power socket carries 230 V
~ 50 Hz
and is fitted with a 16 Ampere fuse as required
by the safety regulations!
J Additionally, protect yourself against leakage
current when working in outside areas by fitting
an FI protection switch (not supplied) with a
max. rating of 30 mA! Otherwise, there is a
danger to life through electric shock!
