WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN
62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent applications,
with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level
over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool.

objects. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that
the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly
tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the blade or
result in it becoming detached.
The rated rotational speed of the blade must be at least equal to
the maximum rotational speed marked on the machine. Blades
running faster than their rated rotational speed can break and fl y
apart.
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury by fl ying debris or accidental
contact with the cutting line or blade.
While operating the machine, always wear safety footwear. Do
ENGLISH
not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
While operating the machine, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown
debris can result in serious personal injury.
Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the
machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutting line or blade may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting line or blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the machine "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when
standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a
loss of balance or control of the machine.
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing,
always work across the face of slopes, never up or down
and exercise extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade
when the machine is operating. Before you start the machine,
make sure the cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating the machine may result in
injury to yourself or others.
Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps
prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better
control of the machine in unexpected situations.
When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres is
released, the brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or
throw the machine out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines
or blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still
in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away
from your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
When transporting or storing the machine, always fi t the
cover on metal blades. Proper handling of the machine will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.
Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades
specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine,
make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected starting of the machine while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Blade thrust causes and related warnings
Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward motion
of the machine, which may occur when the blade jams or catches
on an object such as a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent
enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in
any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine.
Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the machine and
position your arms to resist blade thrust. Position your body
to the left side of the machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk
of injury due to the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust
can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions are taken.
If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch the machine off and hold the machine motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. While
the blade is binding, never attempt to remove the machine
from the material or pull the machine backward while
the blade is in motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or damaged blades
increase the risk of jamming or catching on an object, resulting in
blade thrust.
Always maintain good visibility of the material being cut.
Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is diffi cult to
see the material being cut.
If you are approached by another person while operating the
machine, switch the machine off . There is an increased risk of
injury to other persons being struck by the moving blade in the
event of blade thrust.
Only work in a blade cutting range of 8-12 (see illustration on
page 25). In the 12-2 area there is an increased risk of a blade
thrust.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Never allow children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine, local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
Keep hands away from any sharp device intended to limit the lenght
of the fi lament line.
Keep any ventilation openings clear of debris.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control. Sharpening and maintenance of the cutting accessory
should only be performed by an authorised service centre. Uneven
sharpening of the blades can lead to imbalance of the cutting head
during operation and to an increased risk of accidents for the user of
the tool.
Do not use an attachment extension with this tool attachment. The
additional length will make this attachment diffi cult to control and
could cause injury.
Use the shoulder strap to reduce user fatigue and help in maintaining
control of the tool during use.
Do not wear multiple shoulder straps simultaneously. When wearing
a shoulder strap, ensure that no other wearable interferes with the
release and removal of the strap.
Do not use the tool near anything that is burning or smoking such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapours or dust, do not use
tool near toxic, carcinogenic or other hazardous materials such as
asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health
endangering materials.
Use care when using around decorative plants and other obstacles.
Accessories will cut/damage many materials.
Do not operate the tool without the guard in place. The guard must be
attached properly during use. Operating the tool without the guard will
cause serious injury.
Do not operate the tool without the front handle in place. The front
handle must be attached properly during use.
Do not use the tool as an edger. Do not tilt tool to create a right angle
to the ground. Keep brush cutter head parallel to the ground. Guard
cannot protect against fl ying debris in this orientation.
Brace for unexpected movement when contact is made with a hard
object. Loss of control could result in serious injury.
Thrown objects may ricochet off of hard surfaces, such as walls,
trees, and rocks and cause injury. When possible, do cutting by hand
in closed in areas.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects, such as
cords, lights, wires, or strings which can be thrown or become entan-
gled in the cutting means.
