Never disconnect or remove
any protective devices. This
ensures that the equipment re-
mains safe.
Use:
• Always maintain a secure foot-
ing while working. Be espe-
cially careful when working on
a sloping terrain.
This enables you to control the
equipment better in unexpected
situations.
• Do not operate the equipment
if you are tired or lack concen-
tration and after having drunk
alcohol or taken medication. Al-
ways take a work break in due
time. A moment of careless-
ness when using the equipment
can result in serious injury.
• Do not use the equipment while
it is raining, in poor weather
conditions and when the sur-
rounding area is wet. Only work
when the light conditions are
good.
There is a risk of accidents.
• Always keep the cutting line
well away from the body, par-
ticularly the hands and feet,
when you switch on the motor
and while the motor is running.
Risk of injury from cuts.
• Never start the equipment
when it is turned over or not in
the correct working position.
• Switch o󰀨 the motor and dis-
connect the plug from the
mains socket:
- Whenever you are not using
the equipment
- If the equipment is left unat-
tended
- When the equipment is being
cleaned, maintained or is to
be inspected
- When relocating the equip-
ment
- If the power or extension ca-
ble is damaged
- When you remove or ex-
change the cutting device or
manually adjust the length of
the cutting line
• Check when starting up and
working with the cutting head
that it does not come into con-
tact with stones, rubble, wire or
other foreign bodies. Danger
due to materials blown out of
machine.
• Never try to stop the cutting
device (cutting line) with your
hands. Always wait until it has
stopped rotating. Contact with
the cutter can result in injury.
• Only use an original cutting
line. The use of a metal wire
instead of the nylon line is im-
permissible. This can result in
serious injury.
• Do not use the equipment to
cut grass that is not growing on
the ground, e.g. grass on walls,
rocks, etc. Using the equipment
for purposes other than those
intended can result in danger-
ous situations.
• Do not traverse gravel paths
while the equipment is operat-
ing. Gravel can be thrown up
and result in injury.
• Do not operate the equipment
in the vicinity of inammable
liquids or gases as this could
give rise to the danger of a re
or explosion.
