Operating instructions
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire 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 whileoperating 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
injuries.
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 tool
in unexpected situations.

EN 10
FZS 70705-0
Operating instructionsOperating instructions
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

objects. Make sure they are at least 15m away. And then check for
eye protection, proper clothing and balanced footing.
Before each use check for damaged/worn parts. Check the trimmer head, 3-teeth blade, guard, guard accessory,
handles and shoulder strap and replace any parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any away. The
line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard accessory can dull over time. It is recommended that you periodically
sharpen it with a file or replace it with a new blade.
After each use, clean the brush cutter.
4.1 Using the grass trimmer
1) Hold the product with sufficient distance to your body.
2) Pay attention to your posture. Stand upright, do not lean forward.
3) Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle of about 30°. (See. Fig. J1)
4) Move the product with slow and regular horizontal movements from the right to the left and then lead it back to
starting point before trimming the next row. (See. Fig. J2)
5) Trim in steps when the grass is very high. Do not cut the total height in once. (See. Fig. J3)
Note: For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the cutting means and guard, prevents
proper discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall.
4.2 Using with 3-teeth metal.
WARNING: To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the rotating 3-teeth blade down onto the growth to achieve
a chopping effect. Use the brush cutter like a scythe (sweep it to the right and left) at ground level. Do not use
the cutting unit above waist height.
WARNING: The higher the cutting unit is off the ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being
thrown sideways.
WARNING: Do not attempt to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the blade may catch or jerk
the brush cutter forward. This may cause damage to the blade or the brush cutter or loss of control of the
brush cutter, resulting personal injury.

WARNING!
Use head, eye, face and hearing protection. Use appropriate footwear that will protect your feet and which will
ensure a firm stance on slippery surfaces. Do not wear ties, jewellery or loose clothing that could become caught
in the moving parts of the tool. Do not wear footwear with an open tip. Do not work barefoot or with bare legs. In
certain situations you must use full face and head protection.
Take care to avoid recoil and jamming of the blade.
WARNING
Always use the shoulder strap.
Set the shoulder strap and its hitch on the tool so that the brush cutter is suspended several centimetres above
the terrain. The head of the brush cutter and the metal guard must be level in all directions. Hang the brush cutter
on the right side of the body.
DANGER ZONE
NOBODY APART FROM THE OPERATOR MAY ENTER THE DANGER ZONE OF A 15 METRE RADIUS. THE OPERATOR
MUST USE APPROPRIATE EYE, HEARING, FACE, FOOT, LEG AND BODY PROTECTION. PERSONS LOCATED IN
THE DANGER ZONE OR IN THE RISK ZONE AFTER THE DANGER ZONE MUST USE EYE PROTECTION AGAINST
DEFLECTED OBJECTS. THE RISK IS REDUCED WITH INCREASING DISTANCE FROM THE DANGER ZONE.
CUTTING WITH THE NYLON STRING TRIMMER HEAD
The string trimmer head rotates CLOCKWISE.
The trimmer line is extended out semi-automatically. While trimming, simply gently tap the head on the
ground, which will push down the button on the underside of the head and the string trimmer line will slide
out. The string trimmer line is then shortened to the maximum permitted length on the blade integrated in the
plastic guard.
Trimming grass
During this activity, carefully move the trimmer into the material that you wish to trim. Slowly tilt the head so
that the trimmed material is ejected away from you. If you are trimming all the way up to obstacles such as
fences, walls and trees, then approach at such an angle that all material is ejected away from you. Slowly
move the head with the nylon string trimmer line from right to left until the grass is trimmed all the way to the
obstacle but avoid the string trimmer line coming into contact with the obstacle.
When trimming in the vicinity of a wire fence or enclosure, proceed carefully so as not to come into contact with the
wires. If you exceed the minimum distance from the fence, the string trimmer line will be shortened after impact.
When cutting weeds, it is possible to cut one stem at a time. Place the trimmer head with string trimmer line
at the bottom part of the weed - never the top because the stem may start quivering and the string trimmer
line may become caught in it. Rather than attempting to cut the weed directly, it is better to use only the end
of the string trimmer line and to cut the stem slowly.
