8. Advice for proper use, safety instructions
Inspect the unit
A
before each use
Inspect the unit before each
use. Do not use the String
Trimmer if safety devices
(safety handle; safety cover)
and / or the cutting devices are
damaged or worn. Never oper-
ate the unit with the safety
devices by-passed or missing.
Inspect the area to be cut be-
fore and during work. Remove
any foreign objects such as
stones.
If, in spite of care, you come
into contact with an obstruc-
tion whilst cutting, turn off
the trimmer and remove it.
Check the unit for possible
damage and have it repaired,
if necessary.
A
Use / Responsibility
This String Trimmer can cause
serious injuries!
Use the unit only for purposes
specified in these operating
instructions.
You are responsible for the
safety in the working area.
Make sure that there are no
other people (especially chil-
dren) or animals within or near
the working area.
Never use the String Trimmer
if safety devices are damaged
or defective!
After use disconnect the mains
plug. Check the String Trimmer,
especially the filament cassette
regularly and replace it if ne-
cessary. Make sure that the
cutting head cover is properly
seated on the cutting head. The
cutting head must be regularly
checked. In case of noticeable
changes examine immediately
the cutting head for damage.
Never repair damages on the
cutting head, but replace the
cutting head even if there are
only hair line cracks.
Wear eye and ear protection !
Wear sturdy shoes and long
trousers to protect your legs.
Keep fingers and feet away
from the cutting string – espe-
cially when starting work.
Ensure that you have secure
foothold whilst working. The
electrical cable should always
be kept away from the cutting
area.
Attention! Take extra care
when walking backwards.
You may stumble.
Only work when visibility is
good.
The Sense is fitted with a speed
control for noise reduction.
This causes the mower to turn
at a reduced speed when idling
without load.
A
Interrupting work
Never leave the String Trimmer
unattended in the working
place. If you stop work, store
the trimmer in a safe place.
Disconnect the mains plug!
Should you stop work in order
to get to another working place,
always switch off the Trimmer,
wait until the tool stops and
disconnect the mains plug!
A
Work place safety
Make yourself familiar with the
surroundings and look out for
dangers which you may not
detect due to machinery noise.
Never use the unit when it
rains or in damp/wet areas.
Do not operate the String
Trimmer in or near swimming
pools and garden ponds.
A
Electrical safety
Check the power cable re-
gularly for damage and signs
of wear and tear.
The String Trimmer must
only be operated with an un-
damaged electric cable. If
the mains- or extension cable
is damaged, disconnect the
mains plug immediately.
The socket of an extension
cable should be waterproof.
Only use permitted extension
cables. Ask your electrician.
For portable units which are
used outdoors, we recommend
to use a residual-current device
having a residual-current rat-
ing ≤ 30 mA.
In Switzerland use of a
residual-current device is
obligatory.
