English
– Check protective devices (e.g.
deflector for cutting attachment) for
damage or wear. Always replace
damaged parts. Never operate the
power tool with a damaged
deflector.
– Never attempt to modify the controls
or the safety devices in any way.
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
– Adjust handle to suit your height and
reach.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
do not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the power tool to a
properly installed wall outlet.
– Make sure the extension cord used
complies with the regulations for the
intended application.
– Check that the insulation of the
power cord, extension cord, plug
and coupling is in good condition.
Before switching on the power tool,
make sure the cutting attachment is not
touching the ground or any other object.
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the cutting attachment.
Note that the cutting
attachment continues to
run for a short period
after the power tool is
switched off – flywheel
effect.

15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of personal injury ,
do not allow any other persons within a
radius of 15 meters of your own position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce
the risk of a short cir-
cuit or electrocution,
never work with the
power tool in the rain or in
wet or very damp
locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Do not cut wet grass.
Take care in splippery conditions on
slopes and uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
