nger on the switch invites accidents.

3ENGLISH
7.
The string trimmer should be switched o󰀨 immedi-
ately 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 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.
Fig.1
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
alternatively 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.).

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 preven-
tive 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.

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

Consignes générales
1. Ne laissez pas les personnes ne sachant pas
utiliser le coupe-herbe ou n’ayant pas pris
connaissance des présentes instructions
utiliser l’outil. Les coupe-herbes peuvent être
dangereux s’ils sont utilisés par des utilisateurs
non formés.
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
présentera moins de risques de blessure si vous
respectez 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 pour tailler les haies, car cela com-
porte 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.
Fig.1
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.).
Fig.2
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 dis-
tance des objets métalliques tels que trombones,
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 endom-
magées ou modiées peuvent se comporter 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.
