Safety Information
Personal Safety (Continued)
• Do not touch parts that might be hot from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations. Extending your body too
far can result in a loss of balance and you may fall which will result in injury.
• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement
should occur during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance, repairing
or moving.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents, hazards or
unexpected events involving the machine that occur to other people or their
property. It is the responsibility of the user to assess the potential risk of the area
where work is being carried out. The operator or user must take all necessary
precautions to ensure their own safety and that of others, especially on slopes or
rough, slippery and unstable ground.
Inspect Your Machine
• Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
• You must check the general condition of the machine before use.
• Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel
leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.
• Do not use the machine if the machine’s switch does not turn off the machine
when running. Any machine that can’t be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be replaced.
• Regularly check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the machine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before transporting the
machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or
performing maintenance or service on a machine with its switch on invites
accidents.
• Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
• Only use manufacturer-recommended attachments.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the tools are not worn out or
damaged. Replace worn out or damaged elements and bolts in set to preserve
balance.
• Keep the machine in good operating condition. Operating the machine in poor
or questionable condition could result in serious injury.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are in place.
These items are installed for your safety.

Safety Information
During Use (Continued)
Be aware of your environment and all possible hazards that you may be unable to
hear while using the machine.
• Keep an eye not only on the branches being cut, but also on fallen material, to
avoid tripping.
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated grips as the cutting blades could come
into contact with hidden power lines. Contact between the blades and a live wire
may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wait until the tool has come to a standstill before putting it down.
• Always ensure that the handles are dry and clean and that no petrol mixture is
present.
• Do not touch the exhaust.
• Always hold the appliance with both hands. Your thumbs and fingers should
encircle the handles.
• Do not use the appliance unless the appropriate protective guard has been
installed and is in good condition.
• When starting and operating the appliance, ensure that it does not come into
contact with the ground, stones, wire or other foreign material. Switch off the
appliance before you put it down.
• The cutting blade flings objects and soil with great force. These can blind or
cause other injuries. Wear eye, face and leg protection. Always remove objects
from the work area before using the cutting blade.
• The cutting blade continues running after the throttle lever has been released. A
running-down cutting blade can inflict cuts to yourself or other people standing
nearby. Turn the engine off and make sure that the cutting blade has come to a
complete stop before performing any work on the cutting blade.

Safety Information
!Grass Trimer Safety
• Always use the enclosed shoulder strap.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that the strimmer is not in contact with any
obstacles.
• Guide the grass trimmer to the desired height. Avoid contact with small objects
(e.g. stones) when using the trimmer.
• Always hold the trimmer on the ground when the appliance is in operation.
• The relevant plastic protective guard for the cutting blade or filament operation
must be installed when working with the appliance in order to prevent objects
from being flung away.
!Brush Cutter Safety
• When working with the 3-tooth cutting blade there is a risk of kickback if the
blade strikes against solid obstacles (tree trunks, branches, tree stumps, rocks or
similar). This will result in the cutting tool being catapulted back against the
direction of rotation. This can lead to the loss of control of the appliance. Do not
use the cutting blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations.
