Check the cord and the plug regularly for signs of wear and tear or
looseness.
Do not usa the tool if the cable is not in perfect ondition, if it shows
signs of wear or if any parts are broken.

Keep children at a safe distance when the tool is connected to the
mains.
Keep the rotating nylon lines away from the extension cord.
Before puting down or transporting the tool, always switch off the
motor and wait until the line has come to a complete stop.
Use only extension cords which meet safety regulations (appropriate
insulating property, correct couplings for outdoor use suitable to the
plug of the machine).
Do not touch any parts of your body with the rotating lines. Always
wear protective shoes.
Before cutting, clear the cutting area of any obstacles like stones,
pieces of wood, etc; pay careful attention to
wires
or ropes which
could entwine themselves around the cutting head.
Before cleaning the tool or working on the machine, on the cutting
head or on the cable, switch off the motor and disconnect from the
mains.

authorised servicing dealer where original spare parts are avai-
lable
