TECHNICAL DATA

Noise details

Measured according to 1) EN 60335; Uncertainty K = 3 dB (A) 2) 2000/14/EG & 2005/88/EG

Sound pressure level LpA 1)| 81 dB(A)
Measured sound power level| 91,4 dB(A); K=2,35 dB(A)
Guaranteed sound power level LWA2)| 96 dB (A)
Vibration details

Total vibration values (triaxial vector sum) Determined properly EN 60335, Uncertainty K = 2,0 m/s2

Vibration emission value ah| ≤ 2,5 m/s2

Technical changes reserved.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet.

The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another.

It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

An accurate estimate of the vibratory load should also take into account the times when the tool is shut down or when it is running but not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the vibratory load over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns

WARNING

Wear personal protective equipment.

• Always wear goggles when using the machine.
• Wear ear protectors!
• Wear solid shoes and long trousers.
• Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with hanging strings or belts. Hear, clothing and gloves must be out of reach of moving parts as they could get caught by the rotating parts. Do not use the appliance when barefooted or in open sandals.
• Use protective gloves when handling the blades

Carefully check the terrain where the appliance is going to be used and remove all objects that could get caught or thrown off by the appliance such as stones, branches, wires, animals, etc.

Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not blunt, worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance; Worn or damaged cutting blades and fastening bolts may only be replaced in sets to avoid imbalance.

Do not use the appliance if you are tired, ill, under influence of drugs, alcohol drinks or medicaments.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Be careful when going backwards – risk of tripping! Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine. Poor lighting/light conditions represent a high safety risk.

Walk! Never run! Only operate the machine at a walking pace.

Make sure your posture is safe, especially on slopes. Do not cut on too steep slopes. Be particularly careful when changing travelling direction on slopes.

Mow across the slope, never up or down.

Pay maximum attention when turning around and pulling the appliance to you.

Be especially careful when changing the direction of travel on a slope.

Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.

Stop the cutting blade (s) if the lawnmower needs to be tilted for transport over surfaces other than grass and if the lawnmower is being moved to and from the area to be mowed.

Never use the lawn mower with damaged protective devices or grids or without attached protective devices, e.g. B. baffles and / or grass catchers.

Start or operate the starter switch with caution according to the manufacturer‘s instructions. Make sure there is sufficient distance between your feet and the cutting knife (s).

The lawnmower must not be tilted when starting or starting the engine, unless the lawnmower must be raised during the process. In this case, tilt it only as far as is absolutely necessary and only lift the side away from the user.

WARNING

Risk of injury

Thrown-off stones or soil may lead to injuries

• Before mowing, check the area to be mowed for any undesirable objects.
• Make sure the collection bag is properly suspended.
• Wear safety goggles when working.

Stop the device and disconnect it from the power supply Wait until all rotating parts have stopped and the appliance has cooled down.

• whenever you leave the lawnmower
• before removing blockages
• before checking, cleaning or working on the device
• after contact with a foreign object, to check the devicefor damage
• before freeing the device from accumulated material

Disconnect the machine from the power source and take the following steps before restarting and operating the machine:

• check for damage
• replace or repair damaged parts
• check for loose parts and tighten them

When working with this machine, do not use spare parts other than those recommended by us. Using spare parts not recommend by us can result in serious injuries to persons or damage to the machine.

Despite the observance of the operating instructions there still may be some hidden residual risks.

• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and that the device is in a safe working condition.
• Check the grass catcher regularly for wear or loss of functionality.
• For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts.
• Please note that on machines with several cutting blades, the movement of one cutting blade can lead to the other cutting blades rotating.
• When setting the machine, make sure that no fingers are trapped between moving cutting blades and stationary parts of the machine.
• Let the engine cool down before switching off the machine.
• When servicing the cutting blades, make sure that the cutting blades can be moved even when the voltage source is switched off.
• For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts. Use only original spare parts and accessories.

The appliance must be stored in a dry place and protected from frost.

Lock the device in a proper place to protect it from unauthorised use.

Let the engine cool down, before you store the device in a closed room.

CAUTION

Damage to health arising from vibrations to handand arms if the device is used for a long time or if the device is not guided and evaluated properly. Vibration damping systems are no guaranteed protection against white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check the state of your fingers and wrist if you have regularly used the appliance for a long time. If any symptom of the diseases above appears, seek medical advice immediately. To reduce the white finger disease risk, keep your hands warm and take regular breaks during your work.

CAUTION

Hearing damage

A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the running unit may cause hearing damage. Wear ear protectors! When working with the device, a certain level of noise cannot be avoided. Noisy work should be scheduled for hours, during which it is allowed by statute or other local regulations. Adhere to any applicable rest times and limit your working time to the necessary minimum time.

For your personal protection and the protection of people nearby, suitable hearing protection must be worn. Noise emission information in accordance with the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG) and the EC Machine Directive: the noise pressure level at the place of work can exceed 80 dB(A). In such cases the operator will require noise protection (e.g. wearing of ear protectors).

Please do also consider any local regulations concerning noise protection!

MAINS CONNECTION

DANGER

Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA).

Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised Service Agents.
