WARNING: When using electric gardening
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following.
Read All Instructions
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
General instructions
1.
Never allow people unfamiliar with these instruc-
tions or children to use the machine. Local reg-
ulations can restrict the age of the operator. It is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users or children.
2. Be sure that anyone who is to operate the
string trimmer has rst read the instruction
manual.
3. Use the string trimmer with the utmost care
and attention.
4. Operate the string trimmer only if you are in
good physical condition. Perform all work
calmly and carefully. Use common sense
and keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
5. Never operate the string trimmer when tired,
feeling ill or under the inuence of alcohol or
drugs.
6. Avoid accidentally starting:
— Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨 posi-
tion before installing the battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into the string
trimmer with the switch on invites accidents.
— Carrying the string trimmer with your
nger on the switch invites accidents.

3ENGLISH
7. The string trimmer should be switched o󰀨
immediately if it shows any signs of abnormal
operation.
8. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
9. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
10. Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance
when you are tired.
11. Store idle appliances indoors.
12. Keep ngers away from switch trigger when
not operating the tool and when moving from
one operating position to another.
Intended use of the tool
1. Use right tool. The cordless string trimmer
is only intended for cutting grass and light
weeds. It should not be used for any other
purpose such as edging or hedge cutting as
this may cause injury.
2. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
accessories and attachments. Use of any other
accessories and attachments may increase the
risk of injury.
Personal protective equipment
1. Dress Properly. The clothing worn should be
functional and appropriate, i.e. it should be
tight-tting but not cause hindrance. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Use of thick leather
gloves and substantial footwear is recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.
2. In order to avoid either head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment and protective
clothing must be used during operation of the
equipment.
3. Always wear a helmet where there is a risk of
falling objects. The protective helmet is to be
checked at regular intervals for damage and
is to be replaced at least every ve years. Use
only approved protective helmets.
4.
Use safety glasses. The visor of the helmet (or alter-
natively goggles) protects the face from ying debris
and stones. During operation of the tool always wear
goggles, or a visor to prevent eye injuries.
5. Wear adequate noise protection equipment to avoid
hearing impairment (ear mu󰀨s , ear plugs etc.).
6. Work overalls protect against injury from
ying stones and debris. It is strongly recom-
mended that the user wears work overalls.
7. Special gloves made of thick leather are part of
the prescribed equipment and must always be
worn during operation of the tool.
8. When using the tool, always wear sturdy shoes
with a nonslip sole. This protects against injuries
from ying debris and ensures a good footing.
9. Use a dust mask if operation is dusty.
Electrical and battery safety
1.
Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool
in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water
entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your nger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
3.
Disconnect the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing machine. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
4. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
5. Use machines only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
6. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
7.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
8. Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
9. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.

4ENGLISH
10. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
11.

15. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
Starting up the tool
1. Make sure that there are no children or other
people within a working range of 15 meters
(50 ft), also pay attention to any animals in the
working vicinity. Otherwise stop using the tool.
2.
Before use always check that the tool is safe for
operation. Check the security of the nylon cutting
head and the guard and the switch trigger/lever for
easy and proper action. Check for clean and dry
handles and test the on/o󰀨 function of the switch.
3. Check damaged parts before further use of
the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may
a󰀨ect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by our authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
4. Switch on the motor only when hands and feet
are away from the nylon cutting head.
5. Before starting make sure that the nylon cut-
ting head has no contact with hard objects
such as branches, stones etc. as the nylon
cutting head will revolve when starting.
6. Remove any adjusting key, wrench or blade
cover before turning the power tool on. An
accessory left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
7. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
8. Do not use a cutting tool which is not recom-
mended by Makita.
9. Do not operate the tool in bad weather or if
there is a risk of lightning.

pareils de jardinage électriques, certaines précau-
tions élémentaires doivent toujours être prises,
dont les suivantes, pour réduire les risques d’in-
cendie, de décharge électrique et de blessure.
Veuillez lire toutes les instructions
L’ignorance des mises en garde et des instructions
comporte un risque de décharge électrique, d’incendie
et/ou de blessure grave.
CONSERVEZ CE MODE
D’EMPLOI.
Consignes générales
1. Ne laissez jamais utiliser la machine par des
personnes non familières avec ces instruc-
tions, ou par des enfants. Les réglementations
locales peuvent limiter l’âge de l’opérateur.
La machine peut être dangereuse si elle est uti-
lisée par des utilisateurs non formés ou par des
enfants.
2. Assurez-vous qu’avant de manipuler le
coupe-herbe, l’utilisateur a lu le manuel
d’instructions.
3. Utilisez le coupe-herbe avec le maximum de
soin et d’attention.

18 FRANÇAIS
4. Utilisez le coupe-herbe seulement si vous
êtes en bon état physique. E󰀨ectuez le travail
calmement et prudemment. Faites preuve de
bon sens et rappelez-vous que l’opérateur ou
l’utilisateur est responsable des accidents
ou des dangers auxquels il expose les autres
personnes ou leurs biens.
5. N’utilisez jamais le coupe-herbe en cas de
fatigue, de malaise, ou sous l’inuence de
l’alcool ou de médicaments.
6. Évitez les démarrages accidentels :
— Avant d’installer la batterie, vériez que
le commutateur est en position d’arrêt. Si
vous insérez la batterie dans le coupe-herbe
alors que le commutateur est en position
de marche, vous risquez de provoquer un
accident.
— Ne transportez pas le coupe-herbe alors
que votre doigt est sur le commuta-
teur; vous risqueriez de provoquer un
accident.
7. En cas de fonctionnement anormal, éteignez
immédiatement le coupe-herbe.
8.
Ne forcez pas l’outil. Il fonctionnera mieux et pré-
sentera moins de risques de blessure si vous respec-
tez la vitesse de travail pour laquelle il a été conçu.
9. Ne vous étirez pas. Maintenez en tout temps
une bonne prise au sol et un bon équilibre.
10. Restez vigilant - Soyez attentif à vos gestes.
Faites preuve de bon sens. N’utilisez pas l’ap-
pareil lorsque vous êtes fatigué.
11. Après l’utilisation, rangez les appareils à
l’intérieur.
12. Gardez les doigts à l’écart de la gâchette
lorsque vous n’utilisez pas l’outil et lorsque
vous changez de position de travail.
Utilisation normale de l’outil
1. Utilisez l’outil conçu pour le travail à exécuter.
Le coupe-herbe sans l est conçu uniquement
pour couper l’herbe et les mauvaises herbes
nes. Il ne doit être utilisé à aucune autre n,
comme le dressage de bordures ou encore
pour tailler les haies, car cela comporte un
risque de blessure.
2. Utilisez uniquement les accessoires et xa-
tions recommandés par le fabricant. L’utilisation
de tout autre accessoire ou xation peut augmen-
ter les risques de blessure.
Équipement de protection personnel
1. Portez des vêtements adéquats. La tenue por-
tée doit être fonctionnelle et appropriée, autre-
ment dit elle doit être ajustée et ne pas entra-
ver les mouvements. Ne portez ni vêtements
amples ni bijoux. Ils peuvent être happés par
les pièces en mouvement. L’utilisation de
gants épais en cuir et de chaussures robustes
est recommandée lors des travaux à l’exté-
rieur. Si vos cheveux sont longs, recouvrez-les
d’un let de protection.
2. An d’éviter les blessures à la tête, aux yeux,
aux mains ou aux pieds et de protéger votre
ouïe, vous devez porter l’équipement et les
vêtements de protection indiqués ci-dessous
lorsque vous utilisez l’équipement.
3. Portez toujours un casque s’il y a un risque de
chute d’objets. Le casque de protection doit être
inspecté régulièrement pour s’assurer qu’il ne
présente pas de dommages et il doit être rem-
placé au moins tous les cinq ans. Utilisez unique-
ment des casques de protection homologués.
4. Portez des lunettes de sécurité. La visière-écran
du casque (ou à défaut les lunettes étanches)
protège le visage des projections de débris et de
pierres. Portez toujours des lunettes étanches
ou une visière lorsque vous utilisez l’outil, an de
prévenir les blessures aux yeux.
5. Portez un équipement antibruit adéquat an
d’éviter une perte auditive (protège-oreilles,
bouchons d’oreilles, etc.).
6. Les combinaisons de travail vous protègent
contre les blessures causées par les projections
de débris et de pierres. Il est vivement conseillé à
l’utilisateur de porter une combinaison de travail.
7. Parmi l’équipement recommandé, on trouve
également des gants spéciaux en cuir épais,
qui devraient être toujours portés lors de l’uti-
lisation de l’outil.
8. Lorsque vous utilisez l’outil, portez toujours
des chaussures robustes à semelle antidé-
rapante. Cela vous préservera des blessures
causées par les projections de débris et vous
assurera une bonne prise au sol.
9. Si le travail est poussiéreux, portez un masque
antipoussières.
Consignes de sécurité concernant l’alimentation et la batterie
1. Évitez les environnements dangereux.
N’utilisez pas l’outil dans les endroits humides
ou mouillés et ne l’exposez pas à la pluie.
L’inltration d’eau dans l’outil accroît le risque de
décharge électrique.

19 FRANÇAIS
2. Prévenez le démarrage accidentel. Assurez-
vous que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt
avant de connecter la machine à la batterie,
de la saisir ou de la transporter. Transporter
la machine avec le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou la
mettre sous tension alors que son interrupteur
est en position de marche ouvre la porte aux
accidents.
3. Retirez la batterie de la machine avant de pro-
céder à des réglages, au remplacement d’ac-
cessoires ou au rangement de la machine. De
telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent
le risque de démarrage accidentel de la machine.
4. Ne la rechargez qu’avec le chargeur spécié
par le fabricant. Un chargeur conçu pour un
certain type de batterie risque de déclencher un
incendie s’il est utilisé avec une autre batterie.
5. N’utilisez les machines qu’avec leurs batteries
spéciques. Les autres batteries risqueraient de
vous blesser ou de provoquer un incendie.
6. Lorsque la batterie n’est pas utilisée, tenez-la à
distance des objets métalliques tels que trom-
bones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou
autres petits objets métalliques, conducteurs
potentiels entre une borne et une autre. Un
court-circuit entre les bornes de la batterie peut
provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.
7. Dans des conditions d’utilisation inadéquates
de la batterie, il peut y avoir fuite d’électrolyte;
évitez tout contact. En cas de contact acciden-
tel, rincez avec beaucoup d’eau. Si du liquide
entre en contact avec les yeux, consultez un
médecin. Le liquide qui gicle de la batterie peut
provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.
8. N’utilisez pas une batterie ou une machine
endommagée ou modiée. Les batteries
endommagées ou modiées peuvent se com-
porter de manière imprévisible et entraîner
un incendie, une explosion ou un risque de
blessure.
9. N’exposez pas une batterie ou une machine
au feu ou à une température excessive.
L’exposition au feu ou à une température
supérieure à 130 °C (265 °F) peut provoquer
une explosion.
10. Suivez toutes les instructions de charge et ne
chargez pas la batterie ou la machine à l’exté-
rieur de la plage de température spéciée dans
les instructions. E󰀨ectuer la charge de manière
inadéquate ou à une température hors de la plage
spéciée peut endommager la batterie et faire
augmenter le risque d’incendie.
11. L’entretien doit être coné à un réparateur qua-
lié et n’utilisant que des pièces de rechange
identiques aux pièces d’origine. Cela assurera
le maintien du produit dans un état sécuritaire.
12. Ne modiez pas et n’essayez pas de réparer
la machine ou la batterie autrement que tel
qu’indiqué dans les instructions d’utilisation
et d’entretien.
13. Ne jetez pas la/les batterie(s) au feu. L’élément
pourrait exploser. Vériez la réglementation de
votre région pour savoir s’il existe des directives
particulières sur l’élimination.
14. N’ouvrez pas et n’endommagez pas la/les
batterie(s). L’électrolyte qui s’échappe est corrosif
et peut provoquer des dommages aux yeux ou à
la peau. Il peut être toxique s’il est ingéré.
15. Ne chargez pas la batterie sous la pluie ou
dans les emplacements humides.
Démarrage de l’outil
1. Veillez à éloigner les enfants ou toute autre
personne dans une zone de travail de 15
mètres (50 pieds), et faites également atten-
tion aux animaux présents dans cette zone.
Autrement, cessez d’utiliser l’outil.
2. Avant de l’utiliser, vériez toujours que l’outil
est sécuritaire. Vériez si la tête à ls de nylon
et le garde sont sécuritaires et si la gâchette
ou le levier d’interrupteur fonctionne librement
et adéquatement. Vériez si les poignées sont
propres et sèches, et testez le fonctionnement
du commutateur de marche/arrêt.
3. Vériez si des pièces sont endommagées
avant de continuer à utiliser l’outil. Si un
garde ou toute autre pièce est endommagée,
examinez-la attentivement pour vérier si elle
fonctionnera adéquatement et sera en mesure
de remplir sa fonction. Vériez que les pièces
mobiles sont bien alignées et qu’elles ne sont
pas coincées, qu’il n’y a pas de pièces cassées
ou mal montées, et toute autre condition pou-
vant a󰀨ecter le bon fonctionnement de l’outil.
Toute pièce endommagée (garde, etc.) doit être
correctement réparée ou remplacée par notre
centre de service après-vente agréé, à moins
d’indication contraire dans le présent manuel.
