English (Original Instructions)

power tool while you are tired or under the influence of 

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention 

while operating power tools may result in serious 

personal injury. 

 

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye 

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, 

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal 

injuries.

 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is 

in the off-position before connecting to power source 

and/or  battery  pack,  picking  up  or  carrying  the  tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or 

energising power tools that have the switch on invites 

accidents. 

 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to 

a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal 

injury. 

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. This enables better control of the power tool 

in unexpected situations. 

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. 

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving 

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts.

 

Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear 

warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay 

extra attention to what is happening around the work 

area.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 

 

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power 

tool for your application. The correct power tool will 

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 

designed. 

 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled 

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 

■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the 

battery pack from the power tool before making any 

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power 

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the 

risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 

 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or 

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power 

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 

 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 

other condition that may affect the power tool’s 

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired 

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools. 

 

Do not let debris build up on your product. Clean 

often to maintain proper ventilation. Observe cleaning 

guides in this manual.

 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in 

accordance with these instructions, taking into account 

the working conditions and the work to be performed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different from 

those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of 

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack.

 

Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, 

screws or other small metal objects, that can make a 

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the 

battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts. This will 

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

MAINTENANCE

 

After use and before storage, disconnect the machine 

from the battery and check for damage.

 

When not in use, store the machine out of the reach 

of children.

 

Grass trimmers should only be repaired by an 

authorised repairer.

 

Use only manufacturer's recommended replacement 

parts and accessories. 

 

 CAUTION

The cutter head will continue to rotate for a few seconds 

after switching off.

 

The vibration level during actual use of the power tool 

can differ from the declared total value depending on 

the ways in which the tool is used.
