Safety warnings

Maintenance and storage

>  When the product is stopped for servicing, inspection or storage, 

shut off the power source, disconnect the spark plug wire from 

the spark plug and make sure all moving parts have come to a 

stop. Allow the product to cool before making any inspections, 

adjustments, etc.

>  Store the product where the fuel vapour will not reach an open 

flame  or  spark. Always  allow  the  product  to  cool  down  before 

storing.

>  When transporting or storing the product, always fit the cutting 

device transport guard.

Additional safety warnings

>  Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade. Do not 

remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades 

are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed 

material. A moment of inattention while operating the product 

may result in serious personal injury.

>  Carry the product by the handle with the cutting blade stopped. 

When transporting or storing the product always fit the cutting 

blade cover. Proper handling of the product will reduce possible 

personal injury from the cutting blade.

>  Hold  the  product  by  insulated  gripping  surfaces  only,  because 

the cutting blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutting blades 

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the 

product “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

>  Keep hands and feet away from the cutting blade at all times and 

especially when switching on the engine.

>  Do not try to grasp or remove trimmings when the product is 

running. Only remove trimmings when the product is switched off 

and disconnected from the power supply.

>  Check the work area for foreign objects before operation, e.g. 

wire fences. Take care that the cutting blade does not come into 

contact with wire or other metal objects.

>  Never hold the product by the guard.

>  Always be sure of a safe and secure operating position, whilst 

using the product. Always be sure of your footing when using 

steps and when using your product. Never use the product
