acquaint yourself with the way of using the

safety instructions and follow all instructions
in order to avoid injuries. Store the
instructions for use carefully for later
reference.

2.

The high speed of rotation of this grass
trimmers moving parts represent a risk. This is
why special precautions must be taken when
operating the grass trimmer.

3.

trimmer, take out the battery.

4.

Never leave the grass trimmer unattended.
During break periods in your work, take out
the battery.

5.

Keep away from children. Young people must
not operate the grass trimmer. Only give or
lend the machine to such persons who are
generally acquainted with the manner of
handling this type of machine. In addition,
give them the manual with the instructions for
use.

6.

Any person who uses the grass trimmer must
be healthy and in a good physical condition -
if tied take a break! Do not work under the

Only use the grass trimmer during daylight.

10. Make sure you have a firm standing position.

Hold the grass trimmer with both hands and
work with a clear path.

11. Do not make any changes to the grass

trimmer. Do not replace the nylon spool with a
wire. This would create a danger to the user.
The manufacturer excludes any liability for
any damages caused by using the machine in
conflict with its purpose or caused by
inadmissible changes.

12. Never use the grass trimmer with missing or

defective components. The protective cover
must be installed in such a way so that it is
between the user and the cutting head.

check the grass trimmer parts are not worn or

replacing the spool or extending it, make sure
you always put the machine in the normal
operating position before turing it on.

17. Clean the ventilation openings of grass and

dirt.

18. Never work when it is raining or when the

grass is wet in order to prevent water from
getting inside the grass trimmer.

19. Take out the battery whenever transporting

the grass trimmer - even if carrying the grass
trimmer to another place to use.

20. Be careful when using the machine on slopes

and uneven ground; there is a risk of slipping
or stumbling!

21. Be careful of foreign bodies in the grass and

remove them.

22. Check the trimming head at regular intervals

checking for cracks or damage. If the head is
defective, have it replaced immediately. A
defective trimming head must not be
repaired.

23. Watch for marked changes such as vibrations

and noises. If such a change takes place, turn
off the grass trimmer immediately and take
out the battery before further inspection.
