2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
These operating instructions describe a hand-
guided trimmer with petrol engine.
2.1
Intended use
Fitted with a spool, the trimmer is only intended
to cut soft grass and similar vegetation. With the
blade, it can be used for mowing thicker herba-
ceous plants, young undergrowth and shrubs.
The trimmer must be guided parallel to the
ground.
NOTE
Local and national regulations in working
hours, noise control and exhaust emis-
sions can restrict the use of the appli-
ance. Please obtain and observe the ap-
plicable information!
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
2.2

■
Do not cut any shrubs, hedges, trees or flow-
ers.
■
Do not lift the appliance off the ground during

■
Do not use the appliance with anything other
than the OEM cutting tools (blade and cutting
line).
2.3
Residual dangers
Even during correct use of the appliance, there is
always a certain residual risk that cannot be ex-
cluded. Depending on the use, the following po-
tential risks can be derived from the type and
construction of the appliance:
■
Throwing out of cuttings, soil and small
stones
■
Throwing out of cut-off parts of the cutting
line
■
Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing
protection is worn.
