tools that are currently not in use should be
stored in a dry place where they are out of reach
of children (high on a shelf or in a locked place).
5. Do not overtax your power tools. They work bet-
ter and safer if used within the stated perform-
ance range.

area of any foreign objects and be aware of
foreign objects during operation of the machine!
If the machine becomes jammed e.g. by thick

chine from the mains socket before investigating

if damage is discovered, the cutting unit should
be properly repaired.

outdoor use and that are not lighter than rubber
tube cords type H07 RN-F according to DIN/VDE

23. When using the equipment, hold it securely with
both hands, stand fi rmly and ensure that you

does not make contact with the ground and you
can operate the equipment from a secure posi-
tion.
