in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut or
damaged by the line or cutter.
p) Keep all parts of the body away from the moving
trimmer cutter or line. Do not clear material from
the machine until it has been disconnected from
the power source. The moving trimmer cutter or
line may result in serious personal injury.
q) Carry the machine with the machine switched
off and away from your body. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving trimmer cutter or line.
r) Only use replacement cutting heads and trimmer
cutters or lines specified by the manufacturer.
Do not replace the trimmer cutters or lines with
metal wires or blades. Incorrect replacement parts
may cause loss of control, breakage and injury
If something breaks or an accident occurs
during work, turn off the motor immediately and
move the machine away to prevent further damage;
if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties
are injured, carry out the first aid measures most
suitable for the situation immediately and contact
the medical authorities for any necessary health
care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause
damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause
injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called
"Raynaud's syndrome" or "white finger"), especially
to people suffering from circulation disorders. The
symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and fingers
and are shown through loss of sensitivity, torpor,
itching, pain and discolouring of or structural
changes to the skin. These effects can be worsened
by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping
the hand grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms
occur, the length of time the machine is used must
be reduced and a doctor consulted.
1.3. M A I N T E N A N C E ,
TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain
machine safety and high performance levels.
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts.
Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and
never repaired. Only use original spare parts.
• When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection,
or storage, or to change an accessory, shut off the
power source, disconnect the machine from the supply
and make sure that all moving parts are come to a
complete stop.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with
debris inside a room.
S TO R A G E A N D
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting
element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant
influence on noise emissions and vibrations.
Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive
steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection
devices, and take breaks while working.
1.4. BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
The following safety instructions are an
IMPORTANT
addition to the safety requirements provided in the spe-
cific battery and battery charger manual delivered with
.
this machine
• Only use battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate
battery charger may cause electric shock, overheating
or corrosive liquid to leak from the battery
• Use only batteries specifically designed for your
power tool. The use of other batteries may cause inju-
ries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine is switched off before
inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a machine
which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects as contact with the same can cause short cir-
cuits. Short circuits between battery contacts can lead
to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery charger in environments in the
presence of vapours, flammable substances or on
easily flammable surfaces such as paper, fabric, etc.
The battery charger heats up during recharging and
may cause a fire.
• When transporting accumulators, make sure the
contacts never come into contact with each other and
never use metal containers to transport them.
1.5. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the
disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any ele-
ments with a strong environmental impact; this waste
must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be
separated and taken to specified waste disposal cen-
tres where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the
disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not
dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste
disposal facility in accordance with the local regula-
tions in force.
