splashwater-proof.
• Make sure to have a safe stand
when working on inclines.
• Move the tool at walking speed only.
• Inspect the collection bag regularly.
If the collection bag becomes worn

gerous parts before the mains plug
has been unplugged and the mov-
ing dangerous parts have come to a
complete standstill.
• Warning! NEVER use the machine
in bad weather, particularly, if there
is a risk of lightning!
• Warning! Never operate the ma-
chine with defective safety equip-
ment or covers or without safety
