4.2 Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current
Danger of electric shock!
Do not connect a damaged cable to the
mains and only touch a damaged cable
once it has been disconnected from the
mains.
Never use a damaged extension cable.
Replace defective cables with new ones
and never repair extension cables.
If the power cable or extension cable is
damaged during operation, immediately
disconnect the power cable or extension
cable from the power supply. Never touch
the damaged power cable or extension
cable.
Maintenance and repair work on power
cables (extension cables) must only be
performed by specially qualified
technicians.
Always ensure that the power cables used
are adequately protected by a fuse.
Do not work in the rain or in a
wet environment.
Only use extension cables that are
insulated against moisture for outdoor use
which are suitable for use with the
machine (Ö 10.1).
Detach electric cables at the plug and
socket and not by pulling on the electric
cable.
It must be noted that current fluctuations
can damage the machine when it is
connected to a power generator.
Do not leave the machine unprotected in
the rain.
Only connect the machine to a power
supply that is protected by means of a
residual current-operated protective
device with a release current of a
maximum of 30 mA. Your electrician can
provide further information.
4.3 Clothing and equipment
Always wear sturdy footwear
with high-grip soles when
working. Never work barefoot
or, for example, in sandals.
Also always wear sturdy gloves
when working and in particular
also when performing
maintenance operations or
transporting the machine.
Always wear safety glasses and
hearing protection when
working. Wear them at all times.
Wear suitable, close-fitting
clothing when working with the
machine, e.g. overalls, but not
work coats. Do not wear
scarves, ties, jewellery, clothing with
dangling straps or cords or other
protruding articles of clothing when
working with the machine.
Long hair must be tied up and secured
(headscarf, cap, etc.) at all times when
operating or performing work on the
machine.
4.4 Transporting the machine
Always wear gloves in order to prevent
injuries due to sharp-edged and hot
components.
Do not transport the machine with the
motor running. Switch off the motor, allow
the blades to come to a standstill and
disconnect the mains plug prior to
transport.
Only transport the machine once the motor
has cooled down.
Pay particular attention to the weight of the
machine, especially when tilting.
Use suitable loading aids (loading ramps,
lifters).
Secure the machine on the load floor using
adequately dimensioned fastening
material (straps, ropes etc.) at the
fastening points described in this
instruction manual. (Ö 12.3)
Push or pull the machine at walking pace
only.
When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.
4.5 Before operation
Make sure that only persons who are
familiar with the instruction manual are
permitted to use the machine.
Warning:
Risk of electric shock!
Particularly important for
electrical safety are the
power cable, mains plug,
On / Off switch and
electric cable. Damaged cables,
connectors and plugs, or electric
cables that do not conform to
regulations must not be used, to
prevent any risk of electric shocks.
Therefore, check the electric cable
regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness).
