WARNING!
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test method 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 dierent applications, with dierent accessories
or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dier. This may significantly 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 o or when it is running but not actually doing
the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.

GENERAL PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) product.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
■ 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.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
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.
SONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
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
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
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.
WER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, 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.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.

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.
■ 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
■ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
■ 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 fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
■ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery
pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
■ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs
should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
GRASS TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions, especially
when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the machine is to
be used. Wildlife may be injured by the machine during operation.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
■ Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that
the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
■ Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly
tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the blade
or result in it becoming detached.
32
32
■ Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the cutting line or blade.
■ While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and
protective footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
■ While operating the machine, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
■ Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown
debris can result in serious personal injury.
■ Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the
machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
■ Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutting line or blade may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting line or blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the machine “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
■ Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when
standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a
loss of balance or control of the machine.
■ Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
■ When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always
work across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk
of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
■ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade
when the machine is operating. Before you start the machine,
make sure the cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating the machine may result in
injury to yourself or others.
■ Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps
prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better
control of the machine in unexpected situations.
■ When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the
brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw the machine
out of control.
■ Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
■ Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or
blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
■ Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away
from your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
■ Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.
■ When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine,
make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected starting of the machine while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
