Safety instructions for grass trimmer

• Before you begin your work, examine
the material you want to cut. Remove
any foreign bodies. Keep a continuous
watch out for foreign bodies while you are
working. If you come across any foreign
bodies while cutting, turn off the device
(release the ON button) and remove the
items in question.
• Keep the device at a suitable distance
from your body while working. Only switch
on the device when all parts of the body
are well out of the way.
• Make sure that no people or animals ever
come within the working or swiveling range
of the device.
• Only use the device in broad daylight or
make sure that you provide adequate
artificial light.
• Important! The cutting tools continue
running on after the device has been
switched off.
• When the device is not in use, make sure
that it is stored in such a way that there is
no risk of hands coming into contact with
the cutting blades.

• If the cutting blades get jammed while
cutting, turn off the device (release the ON
button) and remove the object in question
(thick branch, foreign body) with a suitable
blunt aid. Never remove any such objects
with your fingers as the pre-tensioned blade
can cause serious injuries through cutting.
• Keep the air vents clean.
• Keep the charging cable away from the
blades. Never use the device with the
charging cable plugged in.
• We recommend that you use a socket with
a residual current device with maximum
30mA tripping current for the charger.
• Never attempt to remove the cuttings with
the motor running or to hold material you
wish to cut. Always switch off the device
before attempting to remove any jammed
cuttings.
• Make sure you keep all parts of your body
away from the blade. Never attempt
to remove the cuttings with the blade
running or to hold the material you wish
to cut. Always switch off the equipment
before attempting to remove any jammed
cuttings. A single moment of carelessness
when using the hedge trimmer can result in
serious injuries.
• Carry the grass trimmer by its handle with
the blades at a standstill. Always fit the
protective cover when transporting the
grass trimmer or putting it into storage.
Careful handling of the equipment reduces
the likelihood of injury by the blade.
• Keep the cable out of the cutting zone.
• Hold the equipment correctly, for example
with both hands if the equipment is fitted
with two handles.
