Warning. 

The guard is vital for your and other people’s 

safety and for the machine’s operating efficiency.

• 

Do not try to stop the cutting device (nylon line) with 

your hands. Always let it come to a stop by itself. 

Warning. 

After switching off the machine, the cutting 

device continues to rotate for a few more seconds. 

• 

 Only use the original type of nylon line. Under no 

circumstances use metal line instead of nylon. 

• 

Do not use the machine to cut grass which is not on 

the ground. For example, do not cut grass which is on 

walls or rocks.

• 

 Do not switch on the machine in enclosed or poorly 

ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable 

and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gasses and 

powders. 

• 

Only cut during broad daylight or with adequate 

artificial light. 

• 

 Check that all grass cuttings and dirt have been 

removed from the ventilation vents.

• 

 Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the machine 

still running. 

• 

When the machine is not in use, store it in a dry place 

and out of reach of children. 

• 

After use, disconnect the machine from the power 

supply and check for damage. If you have the slightest 

doubts, contact an authorised service centre. 

• 

 Only use the machine according to the instructions 

given in this manual. 

• 

Check regularly that the screws are tight.

• 

Do not try to repair the machine or access internal 

parts. Contact authorised service centres only. 

• 

 Do not get distracted and always concentrate on what 

you are doing. Use common sense. Never operate the 

machine when you are tired, sick or under the influence 

of alcohol or other drugs.

Wear goggles

Wear ear defenders

Wear a breathing mask

Unpacking 

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely 

that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. 

If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool 

until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been 

rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious 

personal injury.
