dealer or your service workshop.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.

!
serious personal injury. Read the safety
instructions carefully. Learn how to use
the machine.
WARNING! Always disconnect the
!
battery before any maintenace on the
machine.
Basic safety rules
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading "Personal protective equipment".
1 Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
• To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects
that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident. Ensure
that no-one comes closer than 15 m while you are
working.
2 Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,
such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string,
etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped
around the cutting attachment.
3 Never use the machine in bad weather, for instance in
fog, in rain, damp or in wet locations, strong winds,
intense cold, risk of lightning, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
Safety instructions while working
• When working with a brush cutter the harness should
always be worn. Otherwise you will be unable to
control the brush cutter safely and this can result in
injury to yourself or others. Never use a harness with
a defective quick release.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

• Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right side of your body.
• Don't force the machine. It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating
cutting attachment. Keep the cutting attachment
below waist level.
• Turn off the machine when it has to be moved. Always
remove the battery when passing the machine to
another person.
• Never put the machine down without turning it off first
and always remove the battery.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Remove the battery from the
machine and check that the machine is not damaged.
• If any unwanted vibrations occur, tap out new line to
give the line the correct length and the vibrations
should stop.
• Release the power trigger after each working
operation to save battery power.
