Application
The machine is exclusively intended for cutting decorative lawn, i.e. lawn edges. Any other use or use going beyond
that, such as the cutting of brushwood and hedges or large areas of lawn, is considered improper use. The manu-
facturer / supplier is not liable for damages resulting from such use. The risk is borne by the user alone. A proper
utilisation also includes the observance of the operating manual and the compliance with the conditions of control
and maintenance.
Keep the operating manual always at hand near the place the machine is used!
Residual risks
Even if the device is used properly, a residual risk that cannot be eliminated persists. Due to the type and design of
the device, the following potential dangers may result:
- Contact with the unprotected part of the thread cutting equipment (cutting injury)
- Contact with cutting thread while in operation (cutting)
- Contact with ejecting parts of the cutting thread, cut material, and other materials (cutting injury, blunt injury)
- Loss of hearing if required ear protection is not used while working (hearing loss)
- Contact with electric current due to a defective or cut supply cable (electric shock)
- Harmful emissions of cut material and cut particles.
If you do not observe the instructions contained in the instruction manual, other residual risks may result due to
improper use.
The product is intended for persons who are 14 years old and up. If the product is used by children who are 8 years
old and up or by persons with limited physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge,
then they must be supervised or informed regarding how to use the device safely and to understand the resulting
dangers that are involved. Children are not permitted to play with the device. Cleaning and maintenance may not be
completed by children without supervision.
Children should be supervised so that they do not play with the device.
However, some residual risks remain despite the specific safety measures, safety instructions, and additional safety
regulations indicated in the operating manual, e.g. commissioning the product unintentionally. If you do not observe
the instructions contained in the instruction manual, other residual risks may result due to improper use.
Warning!
Prolonged use 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 numbness and a sensation
of heat, and can cause damage to the nervous and circulatory systems 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 circulatory system and severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be factors
that contribute to the development of Raynaud’s syndrome. Observe the following instructions to reduce the risk of
Raynaud’s syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with loose components or with damaged or worn dampers is prone
to increased vibration.
• Always hold the handle firmly, but do not grip it continuously with excessive pressure. Take breaks often.
All of the precautions indicated above cannot exclude the risk of Raynaud’s syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Therefore, it is advisable in case of long-term or regular use to monitor the condition of your hands and fingers closely.
Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms appear.
