A
Inspect the unit
before each use
Before each use, inspect the
Tiller. Do not use the Tiller if
safety devices (starting switch)
and/or accessory tools have
been damaged or are worn.
Never by-pass safety devices.
Inspect the area to be culti-
vated before and during work.
Remove any obstructions
such as stones. During work
look out for obstructions.
If, in spite of care, you come
into contact with an obstruc-
tion whilst cutting, turn off
the Tiller and remove it.
Check the unit for possible
damage and have it repaired,
if necessary.
A
Use / Responsibility
This Tiller can cause serious
injuries!
Only use the Tiller for the
purposes specified in these
instructions.
You are responsible for the
safety in the working area.
Make sure that there are no
other people (especially chil-
dren) or animals within or
near the working area.
Never use the Tiller with
damaged or defective acces-
sory tools!
The mains plug should be
disconnected after use and the
Tiller – especially the acces-
sory tools – should regularly
be checked for damages and
adequately be repaired if nec-
essary.
Wear eye protection or pro-
tective glasses!
Wear sturdy shoes and long
trousers to protect your legs.
Keep hands and feet away from
the accessory tools – above
all, when starting work.
Ensure that you have secure
foothold whilst working. The
extension cable should always
be kept away from the working
area. Attention! Take extra
care when walking backwards.
You may stumble.
Only work when the visibility
is good.
A
Interrupting work
Never leave the Tiller unat-
tended in the working place.
If you stop work, store the
Tiller in a safe place. Discon-
nect the mains plug!
Should you stop work in order
to get to another working place,
always switch off the Tiller,
wait until the tool stops and
disconnect the mains plug!
A
Work place safety
Make yourself familiar with
the surroundings and look out
for dangers which you may
not detect due to machinery
noise.
Never use the Tiller when it is
raining or in a damp, wet area.
Do not use the Tiller in or near
swimming pools or ponds.
A
Electrical safety
Check the power cable re-
gularly for damages and signs
of wear and tear.
The Tiller must only be oper-
ated with an undamaged elec-
trical cable. If the mains or
extension cable is damaged,
disconnect the mains plug
immediately.
The socket of an extension
cable should be waterproof.
Only use permitted extension
cables. Ask your electrician.
For portable units which are
used outdoors, we recommend
to use a fault circuit breaker.
In Switzerland use of fault
circuit breaker is obligatory.
