SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel
to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer
head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and
damage the tool.
• Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant
contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the
trimmer head.
Sweeping
• The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick
and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above
the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.
• When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to
obtain the best results.
!
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine is
running or the blade is rotating, as this can
result in serious injury. Stop the engine and
blade before you remove material that has
wound around the blade shaft as otherwise
there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear can
get hot during use and may remain so for a
while afterwards. You could get burnt if you
touch it.
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear eye protection. Never lean over
the cutting attachment guard. Stones,
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches.
