1 Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend!
2 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks.A
damaged cutting attachment should always be
replaced.

General working instructions
Basic safety rules
Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects
that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.
1 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
2 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
3 The engine must be switched off before moving.
4 Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
5 The cutting tool must work away from the operator.
Never work with the tool towards the operator as this
may cause serious injury.
Basic working techniques
• Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position.
• Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right of your body.
• Make sure your hands and feet do not come near the
cutter when the engine is running.
• Always keep the tines close to the ground.
• Always slow the engine to idle speed after each
working operation. Long periods at full throttle without
any load on the engine (i.e.without the resistance that
the cutting attachment exerts on the engine when you
are using the machine) can lead to serious engine
damage.
• Pay extra attention when pulling the cultivator towards
you while working.
• If heavy vibration occurs, stop the machine.
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check
that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
IMPORTANT!
This section takes up the basic safety precautions for
working with a cultivator.
If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your
dealer or your service workshop.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.
!
WARNING! At times grass and stones
can become caught in the tines. Always
stop the engine when cleaning.
