Tips for use
¾ Beware of injuries to the feet and hand
caused by the cutting element.
¾ Remove the power pack from the device:
- Whenever you leave the device unattended.
- Before removing blockages.
- Before checking cleaning or working on the
device.
- After impacting a foreign body to check the de-
vice for damage.
- For immediate checking if the device starts to
vibrate excessively.
¾ Do not use the device in potentially explosive
atmospheres containing flammable liquids,
gases or dusts. The trimmer may create sparks,
which could ignite the dust or vapours.
¾ Never leave the trimmer unattended during
breaks and store it in a secure location.
¾ Hold the trimmer parallel to the lawn when
switching on, otherwise there is a risk of
injury.
¾ Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the rotating line.

pulling out new line, always hold the device in
its normal working position before you switch
it on.
¾ Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend-
ers!
¾ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times. Pay particular attention, if
you are working on a slope. Do not run, rather
walk forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure
that you can maintain better control of the device
if unexpected situations occur.
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
