m Personal safety
Attention! Risk to health due to vibrations!
Excessive exposure to vibrations can cause circu-
latory or nerve damage, especially in people with
circulatory problems. Consult a doctor if symptoms
occur that may have been triggered by exposure to
vibration.
Such symptoms, which mainly occur in the fingers,
hands or wrists, are for example:
• Numbness,
• Pain,
• Muscle weakness,
• Skin discolourations,
• Unpleasant tingling sensation.
Hold the handlebars firmly but not tensely with both
hands at the designated points during operation. Plan
working hours in such a way that higher stress levels
are avoided over an extended period of time.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain con-
ditions.

In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly in-
juries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
power tool.
Clothing and equipment
• Always wear sturdy footwear with non-slip soles
during work. Never work barefoot or in sandals, for
example.
• The device may only be operated with long trou-
sers and tight-fitting clothing.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught on
moving parts (control levers) – also no jewellery, no
ties and no scarves.
• When carrying out maintenance and cleaning
work, as well as when transporting the device, al-
ways wear sturdy gloves and tie up and secure long
hair (bandana, cap, etc.).
• Suitable safety goggles must be worn when sharp-
ening the mowing blade.
During work
• Never work while people, especially children, or
animals are nearby. Make sure that grass is never
ejected towards third parties.
• Do not work with the device during rain, thunder-
storms and especially when there is a risk of light-
ning.
Exhaust gases:
• Danger to life due to poisoning! Stop work imme-
diately in case of nausea, headache, visual distur-
bance (e.g. diminishing field of vision), hearing dis-
turbance, dizziness, loss of concentration. These
symptoms can be caused, among other things, by
excessive exhaust gas concentrations.
• The device produces toxic exhaust gases as soon
as the combustion engine is running. These gases
contain toxic carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas, as well as other pollutants. The
combustion engine must never be operated in en-
closed or poorly ventilated spaces.
• The exhaust gases of the combustion engine are
released into the open in front of the left rear wheel.
When working with the device, ensure that this
area is kept clean at all times and is never covered
so that exhaust gases do not build up.
