Leaf Collect
The leaf collect blade has been designed to allow you to pick up autumn leaves from your lawn. In order for this functionality to work within optimal parameters, please note the following:

• only collect leaves with the machine set at 70 mm cutting hight
• collect leaves from your lawn only

• before checking, cleaning or working on the machine,
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs as necessary,
• if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

Connecting to the mains

• The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the power source.
• We recommend that this equipment is only connected to a socket that is protected by a circuit-breaker that would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current.
• Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit that correspond to the types indicated by the manufacturer. See the operating instructions for order no. and types.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
• Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cord or extension cord, otherwise, it may be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• The extension lead must have a cross-section in accordance with the operating instructions and be protected against splashed water. The connection must not be in water.
• Always wear gardening gloves when handling or working near sharp blades.

Work area safety

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
