• Before you put the appliance down or place it on a surface, wait until the drive has come to a complete
standstill.
• Turn off the appliance immediately if the drive is blocked (e.g. in case of jammed clippings).
• Always remove the rechargeable battery when you
- are adjusting the trimmer
- storing the appliance
- removing a blockage
- feel unusual vibrations
- or after contact with a foreign body (in this case, check the appliance for damage and, if necessary,
have it repaired by a specialist)
• Before operation, make sure that all screw connections are tightened and that the overall secure
condition of the grass trimmer is ensured.
• Remove any adjusting keys, e.g. spanners, before turning the appliance on. The tool could be thrown out
when the appliance is switched on and cause injuries.
• Keep the handles and surfaces of the tool dry, clean and free of oil or lubricants. Slipping during operation
leads to a loss of control and accidents.
• Exercise caution during operation and do not allow yourself to be distracted.
• Keep children, people and animals away from the working area. Distractions can cause accidents.
•
Be sure to keep a firm stand during operation. This makes it much easier to control the tool in unforeseen
circumstances.
•
Always handle the appliance with both hands and hold it firmly. This enables safe and controlled
operation.
• Thoroughly check the lawn to be trimmed before starting work and remove any wires, cables or other
foreign objects.
• Do not insert any objects into the ventilation slots. In addition, make sure that no clippings, etc. fall into
the vents. This could cause a short circuit, and there is also the risk of fire and explosion.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when the rechargeable battery is in. Remove the rechargeable
battery from the appliance before you move away.
•
Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of carelessness can cause serious injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles, sturdy shoes, long trousers, ear
protection and protective gloves. Never work barefoot or wearing sandals.
•
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear jewellery. Wear tight-fitting clothing when working.
• Always use the tool carefully. Avoid the familiarisation effect if you have already worked with the tool a
lot. Always observe the safety instructions and always stay alert. A moment of carelessness can result
in serious accidents.
• Service the tool regularly and check for signs of damage, dirt, incorrect settings, wear and tear or other
issues that may present a hazard. Have damaged devices repaired by a specialist before operation.
Poorly maintained tools very often lead to accidents.
• Always observe all relevant national regulations (e.g. occupational safety measures).
