DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND ITS RANGE OF USE
This machine is a garden tool, and precisely a
portable grass edge trimmer with a battery-pow-
ered electric motor for home use.
The machine is essentially composed of a motor
which drives a cutting device composed of a
cutting line head.
The operator can operate the machine and use
the main controls, always keeping a safe distance
from the cutting device.
Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured
for:
- cutting grass and non-woody vegetation, using
a nylon line (e.g. around the edges of lawns,
flowerbeds, walls, fences and small grassy
areas to tidy up the cutting done using a
mower).
Improper use
Any other use differing from the above mentioned
ones could be hazardous and harm people and/
or damage things. Examples of improper use may
include, but are not limited to:
- using the machine for sweeping;
-
trimming hedges or other jobs in which the
cutting device is not used on ground level;
- using the machine with the cutting device
above the operator’s belt level;
- use of the machine for cutting non-plant mate-
rial;
- use of the machine by more than one person.
Improper use of the machine will invalidate the
warranty, relieve the manufacturer from all liabili-
ties, and the user will consequently be liable for
all and any damage or injury to himself or others.
