only intended for cutting grass, light weeds. It
should not be used for any other purpose such
as hedge cutting as this may cause injury.
Personal protective equipment
►Fig.1
►Fig.2
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 either jewelry or clothing which could
become entangled with high grass. Wear pro-
tective hair covering to contain long hair.

10 ENGLISH
2. When using the tool, always wear sturdy shoes
with a non-slip sole. This protects against
injuries and ensures a good footing.
3. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
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. 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.
3. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
4. 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.
5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a re. The
cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
7. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
8. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
Starting up the tool
►Fig.3
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 cutting tool
and the guard and the switch trigger/lever for
easy and proper action. Check for clean and dry
handles and test the on/off 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 mov-
ing parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other condition that
may affect 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 cutting tool.
5. Before starting make sure that the cutting
tool has no contact with hard objects such as
branches, stones etc. as the cutting tool will
revolve when starting.
6. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
Method of operation
1. Never operate the machine with damaged
guards or without the guards in place.
2. Only use the tool in good light and visibility.
During the winter season beware of slippery
or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping).
Always ensure a safe footing.
3. Take care against injury to feet and hands from
the cutting tool.
4. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting
means at all times and especially when switch-
ing on the motor.
5. Never cut above waist height.
6. Never stand on a ladder and run the tool.
7. Never work on unstable surfaces.
8. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
9. Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within
the working range. Foreign particles may
damage the cutting tool and can cause to be
thrown away, resulting in a serious injury.
10. Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard
objects, immediately switch off the motor and
inspect the cutting tool.

tuel de l’outil, éteignez-le immédiatement.
14. Éloignez les doigts de la gâchette lorsque
vous n’utilisez pas l’outil et lorsque vous vous
déplacez d’un point à un autre.
Utilisation prévue de l’outil
1. Utilisez le bon outil. Le coupe herbe sans l
est exclusivement conçu pour couper l’herbe
ou les mauvaises herbes à racines nes. Il ne
doit pas être utilisé à d’autres ns, pour tailler
des haies, par exemple, sous peine de provo-
quer des blessures.
Équipement de protection individuelle
►Fig.1
►Fig.2
1. Portez des vêtements adéquats. Les vête-
ments portés doivent être fonctionnels et
adéquats, c’est-à-dire moulants sans être
toutefois gênants. Ne portez ni bijoux ni vête-
ments susceptibles de s’enchevêtrer dans
l’herbe haute. Portez un let à cheveux pour
retenir les cheveux longs.
2. Lorsque vous utilisez l’outil, portez toujours
des chaussures robustes à semelles antidéra-
pantes. Ceci vous protègera des blessures et
garantira un bon appui.
3. Pour protéger vos yeux des blessures lorsque
vous utilisez un outil électrique, portez tou-
jours des lunettes de protection, lesquelles
doivent être conformes à ANSI Z87.1 aux
États-Unis, EN 166 en Europe ou AS/NZS 1336
en Australie/Nouvelle-Zélande. En Australie/
Nouvelle-Zélande, la loi exige également le
port d’un écran facial pour se protéger le
visage.
L’employeur est responsable d’imposer le
port d’équipements de sécurité appropriés
par les utilisateurs de l’outil et par les autres
personnes se trouvant à proximité de la zone
de travail.
Sécurité électrique et sécurité des batteries
1. Évitez les environnements dangereux.
N’utilisez pas l’outil dans un endroit humide, ni
ne l’exposez à la pluie. Le risque d’électrocu-
tion augmente si de l’eau pénètre dans l’outil.
2. Rechargez la batterie uniquement avec le
chargeur spécié par le fabricant. Un chargeur
prévu pour un type de batterie peut être à
l’origine d’un incendie s’il est utilisé avec une
autre batterie.
3. Utilisez l’outil électrique uniquement avec la
batterie spéciquement indiquée. L’utilisation
de toute autre batterie peut présenter un
risque de blessure et d’incendie.
4.
Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas la batterie, tenez-la à
l’écart des objets métalliques, comme des trom-
bones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou
autres petits objets métalliques, susceptibles de
créer une connexion entre deux bornes. Court-
circuiter les bornes d’une batterie entre elles
peut provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.
5. Dans des conditions d’utilisation inadéquate, il
peut y avoir une fuite de l’électrolyte de la bat-
terie. Le cas échéant, évitez tout contact avec
ce liquide. En cas de contact accidentel, rincez
à l’eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec
les yeux, consultez un médecin. Le liquide
s’échappant de la batterie peut provoquer une
irritation ou des brûlures.
6. Ne jetez pas la ou les batteries au feu.
L’élément de la pile pourrait exploser.
Consultez les codes locaux pour de possibles
instructions de mise au rebut spéciales.
7. N’ouvrez ni ne manipulez la ou les batteries.
L’électrolyte qui s’échappe de la batterie est
corrosif et peut irriter la peau ou les yeux. Il
peut être toxique en cas d’ingestion.
8. Ne chargez pas la batterie sous la pluie ou
dans un endroit mouillé.
Mise en marche de l’outil
►Fig.3
1. Assurez-vous qu’il n’y a pas d’enfants ou
d’autres personnes dans un rayon de 15 m
autour de la zone de travail. Faites également
attention aux animaux à proximité. Autrement,
arrêtez d’utiliser l’outil.
2. Avant de l’utiliser, vériez toujours la sécu-
rité de l’outil. Vériez la sécurité de l’outil
de coupe, du carter de protection et de la
gâchette ou du levier pour un fonctionnement
facile et correct. Vériez que les poignées
sont propres et sèches et testez la fonction de
marche/arrêt de la gâchette.
3.
Vériez qu’aucune pièce n’est endommagée
avant de continuer à utiliser l’outil. Vériez soi-
gneusement le carter de protection ou toute autre
pièce endommagés pour vous assurer qu’ils
fonctionnent bien et remplissent leurs fonctions
respectives. Assurez-vous que les pièces en
mouvement ne sont pas désalignées ou coincées,
qu’aucune pièce ou xation n’est cassée ou la
présence de toute autre condition pouvant affec-
ter le bon fonctionnement. Si le carter de protec-
tion ou toute autre pièce sont endommagés, ils
doivent être réparés ou remplacés de manière
adéquate par notre centre de service après-vente
agréé sauf indication contraire dans ce manuel.
4. Démarrez le moteur uniquement lorsque les
mains et les pieds sont éloignés de l’outil de
