4 Power tool use and care
a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the pow-
er tool for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
h Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
5 Battery tool use and care
a Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paperclips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medi-
cal help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged of modified batter-
ies may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the bat-
tery and increase the risk of fire.
6 Service
a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Lawn trimmer and lawn edge trimmer safety
1 Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of light-
ning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
2 Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured
by the machine during operation.
3 Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks,
wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown
objects can cause personal injury.
4 Before using the machine, always visually in-
spect to see that the cutter and the cutter assem-
bly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase the
risk of injury.
5 Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard that
is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly
may result in personal injury.
6 Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked
air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk
of fire.
7 Wear eye protection and ear protection. Ade-
quate protective equipment will reduce personal in-
jury.
8 While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
machine when barefoot or wearing open san-
dals. This reduces the chance of injury to the feet
from contact with the moving cutter.
9 Always wear clothing such as trousers that cov-
ers the operator's legs while operating the ma-
chine. Contact with the moving cutter or line may
cause injury.
10 Keep bystanders away while operating the ma-
chine. Thrown debris can result in serious personal
injury.
11 Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter contact and
enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
12 Exercise caution when operation the machine in
wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the risk
of slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
13 Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of con-
