HEALTH AND SAFETY
This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the product by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.

refers to your mains-operated corded power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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 .
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. 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 re-
duce personal injuries.
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
energizing
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
- 05 -
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. 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.
4. 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. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any oth-
er condition that may aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ance with feet slightly apart. Alter the height of
the product if needed to ensure an upright pos-
ture.
3) Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at
an angle of approximately 30°.
4) Move the product slowly from side to side in a
swinging motion.

8) Turn product on and push the trimmer forward
slowly.
WARNING!
Always check the fit of the safety guard before

grass please make sure that you cut it down in
2 to 3 stages. DO NOT cut long grass in one cut,
as this will damage your grass trimmer and make
your warranty invalid.
j. Tips
1) For best results, do not cut wet grass as it tends
to stick to the cutting head and guard prevents
proper discharge of grass trimmings, and could
cause you to slip and fall.
2) Do not allow the spool cover to drag on the
ground or other surfaces.
3) Pay special attention when performing the work
close to trees and bushes. The cutting head
could damage sensitive bark, and damage fence
posts.
4) Fold the plant protector out to avoid bringing the
cutting device into contact with hard objects such
as walls and kerbstones.
NOTE: The trimming line will wear faster and
require more feeding if the cutting or edging is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces
or heavier weeds are being cut.
