for the purpose intended.
■
Do not use grass shear / shrubber if switch will not turn
the unit on or off. A unit that cannot be controlled with

■
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string which can
become entangled in the cutting blade.
■
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a
minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets outside

The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. Need to identify
safety measures to protect the operator that are based
on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle
such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
