| Operating Instructions
grass and dirt. Always disconnect from the
electrical supply before cleaning.
- Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy
and poorly lit working areas may lead to ac-
cidents.
- Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible fluids,
gases or dusts.
- Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces
as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.
- Store power tools out of the reach of children.
Do not allow persons to use the tool if they are
not familiar with the tool or these instructions.
- Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power
tool intended for your type of work in each
case.
- Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the
tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges
or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tan-
gled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care
of a safe footing and keep your balance at all
times.
- Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the
like before you switch the tool on.
- Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that
the switch is in ‘OFF’ position before pulling
the plug from the mains socket. When carrying
the tool with your finger on the on/off switch or
connecting the tool to the mains supply with
the switch in ‘ON’ position, this may result in
accidents.
- Always pay attention to what you do and apply
reasonable care when working with a power
tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired
or under the influence of medication, drugs
or alcohol.
- Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check
whether moving parts are working properly
and are not jamming/sticking, and whether
parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a
way that affects the function of the tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the tool.
- Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the way prescribed for the respective type
of tool. You should also consider the working
conditions and the work to be carried out.
-
Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech
-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts.
- Replace worn or damaged parts for reasons
of safety. Use only original spare parts. Parts
not produced by the original manufacturer may
have a poor fit and possibly cause injury.
-
Grip guide bar firmly with both hands. Never
operate the tool with only one hand.
- Hold the guide bar and lift the tool to move it
from one place to another. Always switch off
the tool, disconnect the plug and wait until the
application stops before carrying out mainte-
nance.
Electrical safety
- The electric motor has been designed to use
single phase voltage only.
- Make sure your voltage corresponds to the
one written on the rating label.
Your machine has double insulation
in conformity to Directive EN 60335,
you do not therefore need to earth.
- Always use a plug compulsory for double insu-
lation electric tooling when replacing the cable.
-
Always switch your machine off before discon
-
necting any plug, socket or extension.
- Use only extension cords that are approved for
out-door use and are not lighter than rubber-
sheathed cables of type H07 RN-F according
to DIN/VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least
1.5 sq. mm. They cords must be splash-proof.
- Warning! NEVER use the machine in bad
weather, particularly, if there is a risk of light-
ning!
Replacing the power cable
If the power cable of the device should be dam-
aged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
their after-sales service or an equally qualified
person to avoid any risks.
Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the
user to vibration and shocks that could lead to
Raynaud‘s syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to
sense and regulate temperature, causes numb-
ness and a sensation of heat and can lead to
damage to the nervous system and the circula-
tory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud‘s syndrome
are known but cold water, smoking and illnesses
that impact the blood vessels and the circula-
tory system as well as severe or long-lasting
