Raynaud's disease
Frequent use of vibrating machines can cause nerve
damage in people with bad circulation (for example,
smokers and diabetics). Fingers, hands, wrists and/
or arms, in particular, may show the following symp-
toms, but not necessarily all of them: pain, tickling,
twinges, numbness of body parts, whitening of the
skin.
– If you notice any unusual adverse effects, stop
working immediately and consult a doctor.
You can reduce the risks considerably by following
the tips below:
– When it is cold, make sure your body and your
hands, in particular, are kept warm. Working with
cold hands is one of the main triggers!
Take regular breaks and move your hands at the
same time. This will promote circulation.
Service
• Have your product serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
Maintenance
• Check all screws regularly to ensure that they sit
tight. This will ensure that the safety of the prod-
uct is maintained.
• Only use original spare parts. Only these
replacement parts are designed and suitable for
the product. Other replacement parts will not
only lead to an invalidation of the warranty, they
may also endanger you and your environment.
Storage and transportation
• Make sure the product is always stored in dry
conditions.
• Protect the product from becoming damaged
during transport.
Personal protective clothing

Use without protective equipment may result in seri-
ous injuries and the volume of the device may also
cause permanent hearing damage. For this reason,
always wear the following protective gear when cut-
ting:
Cutting tips
• Only cut with the right (shown here as dark grey)
area of the cutting unit by moving the product in
a semi-circle from left to right. Only this area
offers light and low kickback cutting.
• Never start cutting in the left (light grey) area.
This represents a high level of kickback risk and
objects may be thrown in your direction by the
rotation of the cutting tool. You may be hurt as a
result.
• If you move the product from right to left, you
must keep the cutting tool away from the ground
to ensure that nothing is thrown up.
• Cut long grasses from top to bottom to ensure
that the grasses do not get tangled around the
cutting tool.
Cut in a sensitive manner:
• Only use the tip of the cutting tool. This is gentle
on the cutting tool and prevents grass getting
caught in the tool.
• Only take the cutting tool as close as absolutely
necessary to posts, walls, fences and similar.
Solid objects will wear the cutting tool down
quickly and may damage it.
• Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be
damaged by the cutting tool.
