• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the brush cutting area and under the watchful care of a
responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 16 to operate this brush cutter.
Children who are 16 years of age and older must read and understand the
operating instructions and safety rules in this manual, and must be trained
and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the brush cutter off if a child or any other person enters the
mowing area.
• Look behind and down for small children before and while moving backwards.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the
path of the brush cutter.
• Never allow children or others who are no familiar with the operating instructions
to use the brush cutter . Local regulations may stipulate the minimum age of
the user of this type of machinery.
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.

4
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 the 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

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

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.

OPERATION
General Operation
• Check the product, its battery pack and charger as well as accessories for damage before each
use. Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.
• Double check that accessories or cutting device are properly fixed.
• Always hold the product by its handles. Keep the handles dry and free from lubricant to ensure
safe support.
• Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft
brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
• Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people entering the
working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before putting it down.
• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and
have full control over the product.
Cutting ( Fig.18 )
• Attach the cutting blade to cut heavier weeds, brush and similar Vegetation.
• Hold the product firmly so that it sits with a gap between the product and your right side.
• Stand upright, do not lean forward and pay attention to posture. Keep both feet apart to help retain
your balance.
• Never hold the cutting head higher than your hip (Fig. 18); the higher you hold the cutting head
will increase the risk of objects being thrown.
Inspect the blade regularly for damage, cracks or breaks! Always replace a damaged blade!
Kickback (blade thrust): When working with the brush cutter blade there is always a risk of kickback
(blade thrust) if the cutting device comes into contact with a hard object! Kickback (blade thrust) will
cause the sudden stalling of the cutting device, which in turn results in the cutting device being forced
in the opposite direction to the rotation of the brush cutter blade! Ensure that you retain a firm grip
with both hands at any sign of such kickback (blade thrust), pay attention and retain a firm stance
to avoid injuries!
• It is best to use the brush cutter like a scythe (smoothly sweeping the blade to the right and left)
at ground level when cutting grass and thinning young stands.
• Exercise extreme caution when using this method of cutting. The higher cutting attachment is off
the ground, greater the risk of injury is from cuttings being thrown sideways.
WARNING
To avoid hazards, remove the battery pack when the user wants to transport the product in another
area to prevent a random start.
WARNING
Avoid contact with stones, wire, glass etc. that may cause injury to the user!

18
OPERATION
Tips ( Fig. 19)
• Pay special attention when performing the work close to trees and fences. The cutting head could
damage sensitive bark, and damage fence posts (Fig. 19).
• Carefully maneuver the product around objects, such as trees and fences, ensuring it does not
come into contact with them.
Operation On Slopes
• Start on the low side of a slope, and work upward. This will reduce your risk of slipping and falling,
and it will give you a cutting angle that will better enable you to direct debris away from you.
• Do not let the cutting line or blade dig into the slope, because that can cause stones and dirt to
be thrown at you.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above waist level during operation, because that would increase
the risk of thrown objects striking your face.
• Avoid steep slopes that would require holding the cutting attachment above waist level.
Avoid slippery slopes that might cause you to lose your balance.
After Use
• Switch the product off, remove the battery back and let it cool down.
• Check, clean and store the product as described below.
Fig. 18 Fig. 19
• To avoid grass wrapping around the blade when cutting very long grass, cut a top section first
using a side to side motion, but never above users waist. Repeat this method in several stages
until the material is has been sufficiently cut. Then cut at the bottom of the grass.
• Cutting wild growth and scrub; it is best to lower the brush blade down onto the growth to achieve
shredding effect – do not use the cutting attachment above waist height.
• Exercise extreme caution when using this method of cutting. The higher the cutting attachment is
off the ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being thrown sideways.
• Carefully lower the blade from above when cutting long undergrowth, wild growth and scrub.
