Safety
Risk of injury!
Incorrect use of the grass trimmer can result in injuries.
− Before you switch on the grass trimmer, make sure that there are
not stones or other hard objects touching the cutting unit.
− Switch on the grass trimmer only when you are holding it perpen-
dicular to the ground and in the correct working position. Hold it
away from your body.
− Do not switch on the grass trimmer when it is turned around and
not in its working position.
− Do not use the grass trimmer near people – particularly not near
children – or pets. Maintain a minimum distance of 5 m.
− Do not cut hard objects. The edge of the safety guard is designed
to keep the grass trimmer away from walls, hard surfaces and
fragile objects.
− Never use the grass trimmer without the safety guard. The war-
ranty will be rendered null and void if you use the grass trimmer
without the safety guard.
− Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting unit when you
switch on the motor.
− Never stop the cutting unit with your hands. Wait for it to stop by
itself.
− Do not use any metal cutting elements in place of the nylon line
(cutting unit).
− Cut only grass that is growing on the ground. Do not cut grass
that is growing on walls, stones or similar.
− Always wear sturdy shoes, long trousers, work gloves, goggles
and a helmet when you use the grass trimmer.
− Hold the grass trimmer firmly but not in a cramped manner by the
handles provided.
