nerhet barn) eller djur nns i närheten.
5.
Använd endast maskinen i dagsljus eller i god
belysning. Undvik att använda maskinen vid dåliga
väderförhållanden, speciellt vid risk för åska.
6. Innan du använder maskinen, eller efter att den
stött emot något, ska du kontrollera om det
nns några tecken på slitage eller skador och
reparera vid behov.
7. Var försiktig så att du inte skadar dig på någon
del avsedd för trimning av trådens längd. Efter
att ny skärtråd dragits ut ska maskinen alltid
återföras till sitt normala driftsläge innan den
startas.
8. Sätt aldrig i skärande metallföremål.
9. Denna maskin är inte avsedd att användas av
personer (inklusive barn) med nedsatt fysisk,
sensorisk eller mental förmåga, eller personer
utan erfarenhet av och kunskap om maskinen,
såvida inte de hålls under uppsikt eller fått
instruktioner i användningen av maskinen av
en person som är ansvarig för deras säkerhet.
Barn ska hela tiden hållas under uppsikt så att
de inte använder maskinen som leksak.
10. Använd maskinen med största försiktighet och
uppmärksamhet.
11. Använd endast maskinen när du är i god fysisk
form. Utför allt arbete noggrant och i lugnt
tempo. Använd sunt förnuft, och glöm inte
att användaren eller ägaren är ansvarig för
olyckor eller risker som kan uppstå för andra

Maskinens användningsområde
1.
Använd rätt maskin. Den batteridrivna grästrim-
mern är endast avsedd för klippning av gräs och
lätt ogräs. Den får inte användas för något annat
ändamål (t.ex. häckklippning) eftersom detta
kan ge upphov till personskador.
Personlig skyddsutrustning
►Fig.1
►Fig.2
1.
Klä dig rätt. Tänk på att ha en bekväm och funk-
tionell klädsel med god passform (dvs. varken
för hårt eller löst åtsittandes plagg). Bär inga
smycken eller kläder som kan fastna i högt gräs.
Använd skyddsmössa om du har långt hår.
2. Bär alltid kraftiga skor med halkfri sula när
du arbetar med maskinen. Detta skyddar mot
skador och garanterar en god balans.
3. Bär alltid skyddsglasögon för att skydda dina
ögon från skada när du använder e-verktyg.
Skyddsglasögonen måste uppfylla ANSI
Z87.1 i USA, EN 166 i Europa, eller AS/NZS
1336 i Australien/Nya Zealand. I Australien/
Nya Zeeland måste man enligt lag även bära
ansiktsskydd för att skydda ansiktet.
Det är arbetsgivarens ansvar att se till att använ-
dare och övriga personer i det omedelbara arbets-
området använder lämplig skyddsutrustning.
El- och batterisäkerhet
1. Undvik farliga miljöer. Använd inte maskinen
på fuktiga eller blöta platser, och utsätt den
heller inte för regn. Vatten som kommer in i
maskinen ökar risken för elektriska stötar.
2. Ladda endast med den batteriladdare som
angetts av tillverkaren. Brandrisk kan uppstå
om en laddare som passar en viss typ av batte-
rier används tillsammans med ett annat batteri.
