Your STANLEY FATMAX SFMSTB930 String trimmer has
been designed for trimming grass. This appliance is intended
for professional and private, non-professional use only.
Safety instructions
General safety warnings
@Warning! Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical safety
a. 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.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when
operating a power tool.

7
ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. 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.
c. 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 nger on the
switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. 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.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.

8
ENGLISH (Original instructions)
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c. 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 re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with
water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool
that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool
to re or excessive temperature.
Exposure to re or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery pack or
tool outside the temperature range
specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping
surfaces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with
specically designated battery
packs.

continue to press the line feed button once the maximum
length is reached. This will result in overfeeding and will
consume string quickly.
Trimming (Fig. I - K)
Warning! Keep the rotating string roughly parallel with the
ground (tilted no more than 30 degrees). This trimmer is not
an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so that the string is
spinning near a right angle to the ground. Flying debris can
cause serious injury.
Caution: Ensure that other persons and pets are at least 30
m away. Flying debris can cause serious injury.
uChargeWith the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side
as shown in Fig. J.
uMaintain a cutting angle of 5 ° to 10 °. Do not exceed
10 °. Cut with the tip of the line.
Helpful cutting tips (Fig. K)
uUse the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such
things as fences, houses and ower beds for
best practices.
uWire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
uDo not allow spool cap (22) to drag on ground or
other surfaces.
uIn long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
330mm high.
uKeep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
uThe trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
uAvoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
uMaintain a minimum distance of 610 mm between the
guard and your feet as shown in Fig. K.
Cutting line / line feeding
Your trimmer uses 2 mm diameter, twist nylon line. During
use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and worn.
Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the
cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or
heavier weeds are being cut.
Clearing jams and tangled line (Fig. L)
Warning! Remove the battery from the trimmer before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky
weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or
other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To
clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.
Caution: To avoid appliance damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it just
reaches the blade.
uRemove battery from appliance.
uPress the release tabs (23) on the spool cap (22), and
remove the spool cap from the spool housing (10).
uPull the nylon line spool out and clear any broken line or

Sicherheitshinweise
Allgemeine
Sicherheitswarnungen
@
Warnung! Lesen Sie alle
Sicherheitswarnhinweise und
alle Anweisungen. Das
Nichtbeachten von Warnhinweisen
und Anweisungen kann zu
elektrischem Schlag, Brand und/
oder schweren Verletzungen
führen.

18
(Übersetzung der ursprünglichen Anweisungen)
DEUTSCH
Bewahren Sie alle Warnhinweise
und alle Anweisungen auf.Der
Begriff „Elektrowerkzeug“ in den
Warnhinweisen bezieht sich auf Ihr
netzbetriebenes Elektrowerkzeug (mit
Kabel) oder auf Ihr akkubetriebenes
(kabelloses) Elektrowerkzeug.
1. Sicherheit im Arbeitsbereich
a. Halten Sie Ihren Arbeitsbereich
sauber und gut ausgeleuchtet.
Unaufgeräumte oder dunkle Bereiche
begünstigen Unfälle.
b. Betreiben Sie das Gerät nicht in
Umgebungen, in denen
Explosionsgefahr z. B. aufgrund
von brennbaren Flüssigkeiten,
Gasen oder Staub besteht.
Elektrowerkzeuge erzeugen Funken,
die den Staub oder die Dämpfe
entzünden können.
c. Halten Sie Kinder und andere
Personen während der Benutzung
eines Geräts fern. Ablenkung kann
dazu führen, dass Sie die Kontrolle
über das Gerät verlieren.
2. Elektrische Sicherheit
a. Der Netzstecker des Geräts muss in
die Steckdose passen. Ändern Sie
niemals den Stecker in irgendeiner
Form. Verwenden Sie keinerlei
Adapterstecker an geerdeten
Elektrogeräten. Unveränderte Stecker
und passende Steckdosen mindern die
Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages.
b. Vermeiden Sie Körperkontakt mit
geerdeten Oberächen von Rohren,
Heizungen, Herden und
Kühlschränken. Es besteht eine
erhöhte Gefahr für einen elektrischen
Schlag, wenn Ihr Körper geerdet ist.
c. Halten Sie Geräte von Regen und
Nässe fern. Wenn Wasser in das
Elektrogerät eindringt, erhöht sich die
Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages.
d. Verwenden Sie das Kabel
ordnungsgemäß. Verwenden Sie
niemals das Kabel, um das
Elektrogerät zu tragen oder durch
Ziehen vom Netz zu trennen. Halten
Sie das Kabel fern von Hitze, Öl,
scharfen Kanten oder beweglichen
Teilen. Beschädigte oder verhedderte
Kabel erhöhen die Gefahr eines
elektrischen Schlages.
e. Verwenden Sie nur für den
Außenbereich zugelassene
Verlängerungskabel, wenn Sie mit
dem Gerät im Freien arbeiten. Die
Verwendung von für den Außeneinsatz
geeigneten Kabeln mindert die Gefahr
eines elektrischen Schlages.
f. Wenn das Gerät in einer feuchten
Umgebung verwendet werden
muss, schließen Sie es unbedingt
an eine Steckdose mit
Fehlerstromschutzschalter (FI-
Schalter) an. Der Einsatz eines
Fehlerstromschutzschalters mindert
die Gefahr eines elektrischen
Schlages.

19
(Übersetzung der ursprünglichen Anweisungen) DEUTSCH
Werkzeuge oder Schlüssel, die an
rotierenden Teilen des Elektrogerätes
angebracht sind, können zu
Verletzungen führen.
e. Beugen Sie sich nicht zu weit nach
vorne. Sorgen Sie für einen
sicheren Stand und halten Sie
jederzeit das Gleichgewicht.
Dadurch können Sie das
Elektrowerkzeug in unerwarteten
Situationen besser kontrollieren.
f. Tragen Sie geeignete Kleidung.
Tragen Sie keine weite Kleidung
und keinen Schmuck. Halten Sie
Ihre Haare, Kleidung und
Handschuhe von beweglichen
Teilen fern. Lose sitzende Kleidung,
Schmuck oder lange Haare können
sich in den beweglichen Teilen
verfangen.
g. Falls Vorrichtungen zum Absaugen
oder Auffangen von Staub
vorhanden sind, vergewissern Sie
sich, dass diese angeschlossen
sind und richtig verwendet werden.
Der Einsatz von Staubsammlern kann
staubbedingte Gefahren mindern.
h. Vermeiden Sie, durch die häuge
Nutzung des Werkzeugs in einen
Trott zu verfallen und Prinzipien für
die Werkzeugsicherheit zu
ignorieren. Eine unachtsame Aktion
kann im Bruchteil einer Sekunde zu
schweren Verletzungen führen.
4. Gebrauch und Pege von
Elektrowerkzeugen
a. Überlasten Sie das Gerät nicht.
3. Persönliche Sicherheit
a. Seien Sie aufmerksam, achten Sie
darauf, was Sie tun, und gehen Sie
sachgerecht mit einem Gerät um.
Benutzen Sie kein Elektrowerkzeug,
wenn Sie müde sind oder unter dem
Einuss von Drogen, Alkohol oder
Medikamenten stehen. Ein Moment
der Unachtsamkeit beim Betrieb eines
Elektrogerätes kann zu schweren
Verletzungen führen.
b. Verwenden Sie eine geeignete
Schutzausrüstung. Tragen Sie
immer einen Augenschutz. Das
Tragen persönlicher
Schutzausrüstung, wie Staubmaske,
rutschfeste Sicherheitsschuhe,
Schutzhelm oder Gehörschutz, je nach
Art und Einsatz des Elektrowerkzeugs,
verringert das Risiko von
Verletzungen.
c. Vermeiden Sie eine unbeabsichtigte
Inbetriebnahme. Vergewissern Sie
sich, dass der Schalter in der
AUS-Position ist, bevor Sie das
Gerät an die Stromversorgung und/
oder an den Akku anschließen oder
wenn Sie das Gerät aufnehmen oder
tragen. Wenn Sie beim Tragen des
Elektrowerkzeugs den Finger am
Schalter haben oder das Gerät
eingeschaltet an die Stromversorgung
anschließen, kann dies zu Unfällen
führen.
d. Entfernen Sie Einstell- oder
Schraubenschlüssel, bevor Sie das
Gerät einschalten.

20
(Übersetzung der ursprünglichen Anweisungen)
DEUTSCH
Verwenden Sie das für Ihre Arbeit
passende Elektrogerät. Das richtige
Gerät wird die Aufgabe besser und
sicherer erledigen, wenn es
bestimmungsgemäß verwendet wird.
b. Verwenden Sie das Gerät nicht,
wenn der Ein-/Ausschalter nicht
funktioniert. Ein Elektrowerkzeug,
das sich nicht mehr ein- oder
ausschalten lässt, ist gefährlich und
muss repariert werden.
c. Ziehen Sie den Stecker aus der
Steckdose, oder trennen Sie das
Gerät vom Akku, bevor Sie
Einstellungen vornehmen,
Zubehörteile wechseln oder das
Gerät lagern. Diese
Vorbeugemaßnahmen mindern die
Gefahr, dass das Elektrogerät
unbeabsichtigt startet.
d. Bewahren Sie unbenutzte Geräte
außerhalb der Reichweite von
Kindern auf. Lassen Sie Geräte
nicht von Personen benutzen, die
damit nicht vertraut sind oder diese
Anweisungen nicht gelesen haben.
Elektrogeräte sind in den Händen nicht
geschulter Personen gefährlich.
e. Halten Sie das Gerät in einem
einwandfreien Zustand. Prüfen Sie,
ob bewegliche Teile verzogen oder
ausgeschlagen, ob Teile gebrochen
oder in einem Zustand sind, der den
Betrieb des Elektrogerätes
beeinträchtigen kann. Bei
Beschädigungen lassen Sie das
Elektrogerät reparieren, bevor Sie
es verwenden.
Viele Unfälle entstehen wegen
mangelnder Wartung der
Elektrogeräte.
f. Halten Sie Schneidgeräte scharf
und sauber. Richtig gewartete
Schneidwerkzeuge mit scharfen
Klingen blockieren seltener und sind
leichter unter Kontrolle zu halten.
g. Verwenden Sie Gerät, Zubehör,
Einsatz-Bits usw. entsprechend
diesen Anweisungen und
berücksichtigen Sie dabei die
Arbeitsbedingungen und die
auszuführende Arbeit. Wenn Sie das
Elektrogerät für Aufgaben verwenden,
die nicht bestimmungsgemäß sind,
kann dies zu gefährlichen Situationen
führen.
h. Halten Sie die Griffe trocken, sauber
und frei von Öl und Fett. Rutschige
Griffe und Oberächen unterbinden die
sichere Bedienbarkeit und Kontrolle
über das Werkzeug in unerwarteten
Situationen.
5. Gebrauch und Pege von
Akkuwerkzeugen
a. Laden Sie den Akku nur mit dem
vom Hersteller vorgesehenen
Ladegerät auf. Für ein Ladegerät, das
nur für eine bestimmte Akkuart
geeignet ist, besteht Brandgefahr,
wenn es mit anderen Akkus verwendet
wird.
b. Verwenden Sie nur die für das
jeweilige Gerät vorgesehenen
Akkus.
