Safety Information
Batteries (Where Present)
Batteries present a risk if they become damaged by the possible leaking of
electrolyte. This electrolyte is an acid and can cause serious burn injuries. Care
should be taken when working on or near them. NOTE: the electrolyte may be in a
liquid or gel form.
Should you come in to contact with electrolyte you should;
• Remove all clothing contaminated with electrolyte. If you cannot remove then
saturate them in water.
• Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
You must advise the medical staff of the type of acid.
• Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.
• Nickel/cadmium = potassium hydroxide alkali electrolyte.
• Use fresh running water to wash off excess electrolyte, continue this until medical
assistance arrives. Make sure that you do not wash the electrolyte to another part
of your body or face.
• If electrolyte comes in to contact with eyes the electrolyte needs to be
immediately washed away with large amounts of water. Make sure that you do
not wash the electrolyte to another part of your face or body.
• Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable and great care should be
taken to charge in well ventilated areas.
• There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited,
when connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that
the terminals or battery leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a
spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.
Electricity (Where Applicable)
DANGER : ELECTRICITY CAN KILL – NEVER WORK ON LIVE / ENERGISED EQUIPMENT.
!
!
• Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical
. isolation methods and isolate all electrical supplies.
• Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all
electrical cables, plugs and connectors for the following;

Safety Information
Electricity (Continued)
• Power tools plug 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.
• DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and that the power,
voltage and frequency of the motor is supported by your mains supply. Also, make
sure that your power supply is earthed. Connect your machine to earth. Never
open the ON/OFF switchbox. However, if it should become necessary to do so,
contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts,
specifically when you plug or unplug your machine. This machine and its power
cord must never get into contact with water.
• 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.
• To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD)
having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable.
• Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
• Do not allow any part of the machine to make contact with water while it is in
operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry before starting.
Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands or while standing in water.
Wearing rubber boots offers some protection.
• Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If
the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply
immediately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
!
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means that it is already provided on a double-insulated
appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace.

Safety Information
Vibrations (Where Applicable)
• Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects
of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate
temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and
circulatory tissue death.
• Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and
long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note
the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome;
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Take regular breaks.
• All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule
out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended
to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if
any of the above symptoms should occur.
Noise (Where Applicable)
• The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. When wearing
protection such as ear plugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long-term and
regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant and
cautious when wearing ear protection because your ability to hear alarm warnings will be
reduced.
• Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved
times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal
protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to wear
hearing protection.
• See Certificate of Conformity section for Outdoor Noise declaration of .
. conformity.

Residual Risks
Even when tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction
and design:
1. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over
longer period of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.

Tilling Instructions
1. Dig out old roots, plants and twigs before tilling as these could damage your
machine or bend the blades.
