GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Only use the machine for the purpose for which it
was designed, namely "cutting grass and non-woody
vegetation, using a nylon line (e.g. around the edges
of lawns, flowerbeds, walls, fences and small grassy ar-
eas to tidy up the cutting done using a mower)". Any
other use, such as using accessories not speci-
fied in this manual, may be hazardous and also
damage the machine.
Examples of improper use may include, but are not
limited to:
– use the machine for sweeping;
– trimming hedges or other jobs in which the cut-
ting device is not used on ground level;
– using the machine with the cutting device
above the operator's belt level;
– using the machine for cutting non-plant mate-
rial;
– use of the machine by more than one person.
2) This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given super-
vision or instruction concerning use of the appli-
ance by a person responsible for their safety. Chil-
dren should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
3) Residual risks: even all the safety rule are obeyed,
there still can be some other risks.

– Danger of injury of the fingers and hands in-
volved into the rotating thread.
– Danger of injury of the feet by affecting the cut-
ting line.
– hrowing of stones and earth. The moreover one
obvious residual risks can exist despite all
met precautions.
4) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
5) Electrical safety
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
6) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
b) 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 in-
juries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the ma-
chine is switched off before inserting the battery,
picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying the
power tool with your finger on the switch or fitting the bat-
tery with the switch "ON" can cause accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
