Use caution during operation
Danger of injury during motor start
Do not start the engine
– if fuel was spilled.
– in closed or poorly ventilated rooms (danger of poisoning!).
– if there are other persons nearby.
Only start the device when your feet are at a safe distance to
the working tools.
When the engine is started, the device must not be tilted.
Risk of injury when the attachment is running
Switch off the attachment and wait until the attachment stops,
– when you drive on surfaces other than the working area.
Risk of injury when the engine is running
Switch off the engine and wait until the engine and the at-
tachment stop
– before you tilt or transport the device.
– before you step away from the device, even for just a short
time.
– before you adjust the working height.
– before you refuel.
Switch off the engine, wait for the working tools to stop and
remove the spark plug connector
– before you clean or check the device or before you carry
out work on the device.
– before you remove and clear blockages.
Risk of burns
Do not touch the engine or the silencer. These parts become
very hot during operation and you can get burned. If a jumpy
movement occurs, the risk of additional injuries can result.
Before you start working
Personal protective measures
Always wear safety shoes with good grip and
long trousers. Do not work with open sandals
or while shoeless.
Wear safety gloves to protect yourself against
injuries and vibrations.
Noise is causing health problems. Use per-
sonal ear protection to avoid hearing damage.
Wear safety glasses and headgear.
In case of high dust development, wear a dust
mask.
Ask your specialised dealer about suitable protective equip-
ment.
Preparing working area
Examine the working area carefully before working. Remove
rocks, pieces of wood, bones, wires, cords and other objects
that could be thrown away, wound up or whirled around by
the device.
Remove live cables from the working area. These can be
damaged during work and cause an electric shock or short
circuit.

Caution during working
Risk of injury
Risk of injury caused by ejected objects. Never work when
persons, children, pets, or objects are in the danger area.
Keep your hands and feet away from moving and rotating
parts. Keep a distance to the working tools while working with
the device.
Make sure that help can be provided in case of an emer-
gency.
Only work during daylight or with adequate artificial lighting.
Never work in the event of uncertain weather conditions and
risk of lightning.
Be especially careful when working on soft ground, nearby
landfills, ditches, dikes and water edges.
Fig.2:
Avoid mowing damp grass, there is a sliding risk!
Avoid working on slippery working areas.
Be extremely cautious when turning the device round or
pulling it toward you and when moving in reverse.
Always walk slowly!
Never lift or carry the device when the engine is running.
Pay attention to traffic when working close to roads.
Vibrations
When the device is used over a longer period of time, vibra-
tions can cause disturbances in the blood supply of the
hands. A generally accepted usage time cannot be determ-
ined.
– Use gloves.
– Take breaks on time.
Have an authorised service centre check the device
– when the working tool has hit an object.
– if the device starts to vibrate unusually severely.
Working on surfaces with a fire hazard
– Carry a sufficient amount of suitable extinguishing media.
– If the device leans too much to the side, fuel can leak from
the carburetor or the tank. This presents a fire hazard!
– Observe the working area even after working to make sure
that no fire breaks out.
To prevent a fire hazard, always keep the following compon-
ents free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking oil, grease, etc.:
– Engine
– Silencer (manifold, protection, spaces)
– area around the fuel tank
Caution when mowing slopes
Fig.3:
There is a risk of injury during driving on slopes due to tipping
over or sliding.
– Drive on steep terrain only when safe operation can be
guaranteed.
– Do not drive on excessively steep slopes.
– Take suitable precautions on steep slopes, e.g. by using
step irons.
– If possible, always drive across the slope, avoid driving up
or downhill.
– Always make sure that you step safely, use non-slip safety
shoes.
– Be extremely cautious when changing the direction.
– Drive only when the ground is dry and has a good grip.
– When driving on the slope, make sure the steerable front
wheel is locked (if existing).
When facing downhill, the device can roll away. Park the
device on level ground only and secure against rolling away
with the parking brake.

minutes before you store it in a dry, closed, sufficiently ventil-
ated room.
Never place the device with petrol in the tank inside a build-
ing where petrol vapours may come into contact with open
flames or sparks.
