INTENDED USE
The product is only intended for use outdoors.
The product is designed for cutting grass, light weeds, and other
similar vegetation at or about ground level. The cutting plane should
be approximately parallel to the ground surface.
The product should not be used to cut or trim hedges, bushes, or
other vegetation where the cutting plane is not parallel to the ground
surface.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
■Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
■Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■Power tool plugs 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.
■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.
■Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
■Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
■If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
■Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injury.
■Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
■Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
■Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power in unexpected
situations.
■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

■If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
■Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
■Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
■Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
■Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
■When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
■Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
SERVICE
■Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
safety of the power tool is maintained.

RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
– Injury caused by vibration.
Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
– Injury caused by exposure to noise
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of the these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by
the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit,
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
■After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
