Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
• Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.
• Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
Cutting equipment
The tines are designed and machined to withstand the loads
resulting from cultivating.
The two basic rules:
1
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
2 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
IMPORTANT! You must use approved personal protective
equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal
protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but
it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does
happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right
equipment.

shouts when you are wearing hearing

protection as soon as the engine stops.
