secured before each use.
Before use and after any impact, check that there are no
damaged parts. A defective switch or any part that is
damaged or worn should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service facility.
Never operate the product unless all guards, defl ectors, and
handles are properly and securely attached.
Consider the environment in which you are working. Keep
the working area free from wires, sticks, stones, and debris
which if struck by the cutter can become thrown objects.
Maintenance and storage
Remove the battery before carrying out maintenance or
cleaning work.
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement
parts and accessories (see page 15).
Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the
machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of
children.
Never fi t a metal replacement line.
Stop the product and allow it to cool before storing or

reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the machine,
local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.

RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as
prescribed, it is still impossible to
completely eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The following hazards may
arise in use and the operator should
pay special attention to avoid the
following:
• Injury caused by vibration
Hold the product by designated
handles and restrict working time and
exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury

LINE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls
and the correct use of the machine.
Never allow children, persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge or people unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the machine, local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
Keep in mind, that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
Preparation
Before use, always visually inspect the machine for
damaged, missing or misplaced guards or shields.
Never operate the machine while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
Wear full eye and hearing protection while operating the
product. If working in an area where there is a risk of falling
objects, head protection must be worn.
Hearing protection may restrict the operator’s ability to hear
warning sounds, pay particular attention to potential hazards
around and inside the working area.
Wear heavy long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear
loose fi tting clothing, short trousers, jewellery of any kind, or
use with bare feet.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Operation
Keep supply and extension cords away from cutting means.
Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while
operating the machine.
Avoid using the machine in bad weather conditions
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
Use the machine only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
Never operate the machine with damaged guards or shields
or without guards or shields in place.
Switch on the motor only when the hands and feet are away
from the cutting means.
Always remove the battery
- whenever the machine is left unattended
- before clearing a blockage
- before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;
- after striking a foreign object;
- whenever the machine starts vibrating abnormally.
Take care against injury to feet and hands from the cutting
means.
Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear of
debris.
Avoid using on wet grass.
Do not walk backwards when using the product.
Do not operate the product when there is a risk of lightning.
Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering an appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
For technical data and approvals of application heads for use on various powerbases please refer to the operating instructions
of the used application head.
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60335-1 / EN 50636-2-91 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
