• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness,
contact a doctor immediately.
• Be careful when servicing the battery.
Explosive gases form in the battery.
Never perform maintenance on the
battery when smoking or near open

and cause serious injury/damage.
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened, torqued and that
the equipment is in good condition.

The machine must not be driven with
defective or unmounted protective

and avoid running the engine with overly
high engine speeds. If you run the
engine too fast, you risk damaging the

• Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the heavy cables of the starter
circuit. This can cause battery explosion,
fire or eye injury. Sparking in this circuit
