•  Be careful of the line-cutting blade, which can give deep cuts.
•  Do not try to stop the cutting device (nylon line) with your hands. Always let it come to a stop by itself.
•  CAUTION! After switching off, the nylon line will continue to rotate for a few more seconds.
•  Only use the original type of nylon line. Under no circumstances use metal wire instead of nylon.
•  Do not use the trimmer to cut grass that is not in contact with the ground; for example do not cut 

grass that is not walls or rocks etc.

•  Do not switch the grass trimmer on in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces or in the presence of 

inflammable and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gas and powders.

•  The user of the grass trimmer is responsible for any damage sustained by third parties that has been 

caused by the grass trimmer within the working area.

•  Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the trimmer still running.
•  The trimmer should be used in compliance with these instructions and only in a position that is 

vertical in relation to the ground. Any other position is dangerous.

•  Check regularly that the screws are properly secured.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  

FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.

4.1 BATTERIES

•  Never attempt to open for any reason.

•  Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.

•  Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.

•  When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”.

•  Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal directly or via 

accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat 
generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.

•  Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators and other polymer 

components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat 
generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning 
may result.

•  Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:

•  Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
