1.4 Mains supply and extension cable

Only extension cables approved for outdoor use with a minimum
cross-section as shown here are permissible as mains extension
cable.
The cable connectors must be made from rubber or must
-
be covered in rubber.
When using a cable reel, fully unreel all cable.
-
Check whether the mains supply voltage matches the details on the
type plate of the power tool.
The mains socket must be protected at least by a 16 A fuse.
For your personal safety, we recommend the use of a 30 mA RCD.

1.5 Before connection to the mains supply

Before taking the power tool into use, check it fully for perfect condition.
The ON/OFF switch must be able to move freely and must automatically return into the stop position.
The cutters and guard must be tightly secured and in perfect condition.
The mains cable, which is part of the equipment, and the extension cable must be in perfect condition.
Should the check reveal any irregularities or recognisable damage (also to the frame) or reduced efficiency of the machine, do
not commence work. Take the power tool to a specialised workshop and have it checked.

1.6 Working with the machine

Only use this power tool when it is complete and in a safe condition.
Work conscientiously, thoughtfully and calmly, and do not endanger third parties.
- Pay attention to good visibility and lighting conditions.
- Always remain within earshot of other people who can provide help in case of emergency.
- Plan for timely work breaks.
- Pay attention to possible hazards and take appropriate precautions. Be aware that wearing ear defenders reduces the
ability to perceive noise. This includes sounds alerting to danger such as signals, shouts, etc. that can go unnoticed.
- Exercise caution when the ground is wet or covered in ice and snow, on overhangs, or uneven terrain. There is an
increased risk of slipping!
- Pay attention to the risk of stumbling and obstacles, such as tree roots and stumps, edges, etc. Pay particular attention
to safety when working on slopes.
- Before commencing work, check the working area for stones, broken glass, nails, wire or other solid objects and remove
such debris to prevent them being picked up and thrown out by the cutting tool.
- Ensure that, when you start the machine, it contacts neither objects nor the ground.
- Always hold this power tool firmly in both hands, and ensure your safe and firm foothold.
- Always hold the cutters below hip level. Never lift a rotating cutter off the ground.
- Keep all parts of the body away from the rotating cutting tool.
- Always keep the mains supply or extension cable away from the cutting tool.
- Use a correct operating mode (see Chapter 5.2 "Correct brushcutter operation").
- Please note that noise also impacts on the environment. Observe the quiet times that can vary from place to place.
Stop the motor if you notice a difference in the operating characteristics of the brushcutter.
The cutter continues to rotate for a short time after releasing the ON/OFF switch. Ensure that the cutter has come to a
complete standstill before parking the machine.
Before any contact with the cutter – even when clearing a blockage or jamming of the cutter – switch OFF the motor, wait
until the cutter has come to a complete standstill and pull the mains plug from its socket.

1.7 Maintenance, cleaning and repairs

Only carry out those maintenance jobs and repairs, which are described in this manual. A specialised service centre will carry
our all other jobs.
Before cleaning, maintenance or repairs, always switch OFF the motor and pull the mains supply plug from its socket.
For any repairs only use original parts from the manufacturer.
Never hose down the power tool – not even for cleaning.
