READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■
Keep the workplace clean and tidy. Cluttered work
areas invite accidents and injury.
■
Consider the environment in which you are working.
Do not use electric power tools in damp or wet
locations. Keep the work area well lit. Do not expose
power tools to rain or high humidity. Do not use power
tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gas.
■
Keep visitors away from the worksite. All visitors and
onlookers, especially children and the infirm person
should be kept well away from where you are working.
Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the
tool or extension cord.
■
Store tools safely. When not in use tools should be
stored in a dry place and locked up out of the reach
of children.
■
Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better
and more safely working at the rate for which it was
designed.
■
Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools
or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavy
duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose other than
that for which it was intended.
■
Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery; they can get caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. If you have long hair wear a
protective hair covering.
■
Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and ear
protectors should always be worn. A face or dust mask
is also required.
■
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
■
Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of part’s proper mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the operation of the tool. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility
unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not
turn the tool on and off correctly.
■
Use only approved parts. When servicing use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
■
Be aware of the harmful/toxic dusts arising from grass
trimming etc, (e.g. fertilizers, insecticides).
■
The use of improper accessories or attachments other
than recommended can lead to personal injury.
■
This electric tool is constructed in accordance with the
relevant safety requirements. Only experts may repair
