Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against continuous intense
v
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v Only operate and store the battery at an ambient temperature between
– 20 °C and + 50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for exam-
ple. At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices may experience a loss of power.
v Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature which is between
0 °C and + 45 °C. Charging outside of this temperature range can increase the

Wear gloves for cleaning the cutting device.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as gloves, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving and fixed parts of the machine, or while assembling the protec-
tive cover.

the trimmer.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the product is in a safe working
condition.

Warning! When wearing hearing protection, and due to the noise produced by the
product, the operator may not notice persons approaching.
While operation and transport pay special attention to the hazard for other people.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
