¾Before use, make sure you are familiar with
the trimmer, its functions and controls.
¾Do not use any trimmer whose switch is de-
fective and which can no longer be switched
on or o. It must be repaired by a qualied expert
or workshop.
¾Never use a device with damaged or missing
guards or covers. They must be repaired or
replaced by a qualied expert or workshop.
¾Before use, make sure that the lawn is free
from branches, stones, wire etc. and look out
for such objects the whole time when trim-
ming.
¾Before making adjustments to the device or
cleaning it, switch it o and remove the power
pack.
¾Read and observe the operating instructions
of the power pack and the charger.
Tips for use
¾Beware of injuries to the feet and hand caused
by the cutting element.
¾Remove the power pack from the device:
- Whenever you leave the device unattended.
- Before removing blockages.
- Before checking cleaning or working on the
device.
- After impacting a foreign body to check the device
for damage.
- For immediate checking if the device starts to
vibrate excessively.
¾Do not use the device in potentially explosive
atmospheres containing ammable liquids,
gases or dusts. The trimmer may create
sparks, which could ignite the dust or va-
pours.
¾Never leave the trimmer unattended during
breaks and store it in a secure location.
¾Hold the trimmer parallel to the lawn when
switching on, otherwise there is a risk of
injury.
¾Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the rotating line.
¾Do not reach into the area of the rotating line.
¾Do not injure yourself on the line cutter. After
pulling out new line, always hold the device in
its normal working position before you switch
it on.
¾Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend-
ers!
¾Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times. Pay particular attention, if
you are working on a slope. Do not run, rather
walk forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure
that you can maintain better control of the device
if unexpected situations occur.
¾Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾Remove the power pack when carrying the
device to or from separate working positions.
¾Never bypass or manipulate safety devices
installed on the device.
¾Do not push the line box into the ground or hit
it against wall edges. If the line box sudden-
ly receives a heavy blow, be prepared for
increased vibration at the handle. If this does
occur, the device must be checked and, if neces-
sary, repaired by a qualied expert or workshop.
Information about vibrations:
¾Vibrations can cause nerve damage and
impair the blood circulation in the hands and
arms.
¾When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾Take breaks.
¾If you notice that the skin of your ngers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾The specied vibration emission values:
• Were measured according to a standardised
testing procedure.
• Make it possible to estimate the power tool
emissions and compare these with dierent
power tools. Dependent on the conditions of
use, the state of the power tool or tools inserted
for use with it, the actual vibration load may be
higher or lower. When estimating the emis-
sions, consider doing so during work pauses
and phases when the tool is under reduced
load. Based on the correspondingly adjusted
estimated values, take protective actions, e.g.
organisational actions.
After use
¾Switch the device o, remove the power pack
and check the device for damage. Attention,
danger! Cutting tool still running!
¾If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it o and remove the power pack.
¾Always wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill and do not touch any moving dan-
gerous parts, without rst removing the power
pack.
