DURING OPERATION
• Use this trimmer for its provided purpose only, i.e.
for the cutting of grass, brushwood and weed.
• Avoid any inadvertent starting of the engine. Make
sure, that the control lever is always in ‘Start’

from injuries you should not work with this device
if you are tired.

of drugs, alcohol and medical drugs.
• Always wear protection goggles when operating
this device.
• Wear appropriate clothes. Do not work with this
device with bare feet or open sandals. Always wear
robust footwear with rubber soles. We recommend
to wear gloves, ear protection and long trousers.
• Do not wear wide clothing or scarves, chains, ties
etc. These may get sucked into the air inlet. Do
also take care that long hair does not get into the
air inlet. Tie long hair together behind the head so
that the neck and shoulders remain free from it.
• Keep your hands, face and feet away from any
moving parts. Do not try to touch or stop the cutting
cord as long as it is turning.

only. In closed rooms, exhaust gases containing
carbon monoxide may have fatal effects.

parts get extremely hot during operation and
stay hot for some time after the device has been
switched off.
• Always hold the trimmer with both hands during
work. Hold on to both the front and back handle
tightly.
• Check the condition of the cutting head regularly.
All damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
Follow the necessary safety measures when
replacing any parts.
• If you touch an object or get caught (with the
device) switch off the engine immediately and
check the device for possible damage. Repair
possibly existing damages before you try to
continue your work. Do not operate the trimmer if
it has loose or damaged parts.
• Do not run the engine faster than required for
cutting, trimming or the clean-cutting of edges. Do
not let the engine run on high speeds when you are
not cutting.
• The cord protection cover must always be mounted
when the trimmer is operated. If this should not be
the case, the engine may overheat. OPERATE THE
DEVICE ONLY WITH THE PROTECTION COVER
MOUNTED.
• The cutting diameter must not exceed the length
of the protection cover stated in this manual.
• Make sure that the trimmer is not soiled by parts
of plants or other materials.
• Always switch the engine off if you make a break
or move to another area.
• Replace the exhaust pipe and (if necessary) the
spark protector if these are not in proper working
order any more.
• To keep the danger of fire as low as possible the
engine and exhaust pipe must be free from grass,
leaves and excess grease.
• For any interventions, whether maintenance or
repair works, the changing the cutting head or
installation of safety devices, the engine must be
switched off.
• Use original spare parts only. These parts are
available from your appointed retailer. The use
of deviating parts or other parts, accessories or
attachments that are not designed for this trimmer
may result in serious injuries to the persons using
it and your warranty will become void.
• Only use the trimmer with the right trimming cord
installed and with both trimming cords being at the
right length.
