- When relocating the equipment
- If the power or extension cable is damaged
- When you remove or exchange the cutting device or manually adjust the length of the cutting line
• Never try to stop the brush with your hands. Always wait until the brush stops rotating.
• Do not use the device for removing weed or moss not growing on the ground, i.e. moss growing on walls or rocks etc.
• Always inspect the brush before starting the device. Never use damaged brushes. Replace any damaged or worn
brush.
• The brush must not be mounted on devices with an engine speed exceeding the admissible maximum engine speed
of the brush.
• Do not traverse gravel paths while the equipment is operating. Gravel can be thrown up and result in injury.
• Do not operate the equipment in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gases as this could give rise to the danger of a
fire or explosion.
• Store the equipment in a dry place that is not accessible to children.
4. The following states how damage to the equipment and possible injury to people can be avoided:
• Ensure that the ventilation openings are not clogged.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never try to repair the equipment yourself. All work that has not been listed in these Instructions must only be carried
out by an authorized servicing agency.
• Treat the equipment with the greatest care. Always keep the equipment clean for better and safer work. Follow the
maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the equipment. Always work within the stated capacity range. Do not use low-power machines for
heavy-duty work. Do not operate the equipment for purposes for which it is not intended.
• Always inspect the equipment before it is to be used. Do not operate the equipment if safety devices, parts of the
cutting device or bolts are missing, worn out or damaged.
5. Electrical safety:
• Never cross the extension cable while the device is operating. Always keep the extension cable behind the device
operator. Should the power cable become damaged during work, then instantly disconnect the power cable from the
mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS! Risk
of electric shock.
• Before each usage, check the mains power cable and the extension cable for damage and signs of aging. Do not use
the device if the cable is damaged or worn. Damaged mains power cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.
• Connect the equipment to a power socked with a residual-current circuit breaker that has a rated current of not more
than 30 mA.
• Protect the equipment from moisture. The equipment must not be moist nor operated in a moist environment. Water
entry into the equipment increases the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts (e.g. metal fences, metal posts). There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
• Only use extension cables with a maximum length of 75 m that have been approved for open-air use. The stranded
cord diameter of the extension cable must be at least 2.5 mm2. Always unreel a cable drum to its full length so that
the entire cable can be inspected for damage.
• Use the envisaged cable suspensions when attaching an extension cable.
