Tips for use ¾ Beware of injuries to the feet and hand caused by the cutting element. ¾ Remove the power pack from the device: - Whenever you leave the device unattended. - Before removing blockages. - Before checking cleaning or working on the device. - After impacting a foreign body to check the de- vice for damage. - For immediate checking if the device starts to vibrate excessively. ¾ Do not use the device in potentially explosive DWPRVSKHUHVFRQWDLQLQJÀDPPDEOHOLTXLGV gases or dusts. The device can generate sparks which could ignite dust or vapours. ¾ Never leave the device unattended during breaks and store it in a secure location. ¾ Hold the device parallel to the lawn when switching on, otherwise there is a risk of injury. ¾ When working also maintain a safe distance relative to the rotating line/cutting blade. ¾ Do not reach into the area of the rotating line or the blade. ¾ Do not try to catch hold of rotating parts. ¾ Do not injure yourself on the line cutter. ¾ After pulling out new line, always hold the device in its normal working position before you switch it on. ¾ Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend- ers! ¾ The protective cover must always be fully attached when you are using the device as a lawn trimmer. Both trimming lines must be pulled out for operation and the correct line must be installed. The trimming line must not be pulled out beyond the end of the cover. ¾ The protective cover must always be attached when you are using the device as a brush cutter with a cutting blade. ¾ Before switching on the device, ensure that the line spool/blade will not come into contact with any object. ¾ Adjust the level of the middle handle to match your height so that you have a good grip of the device. ¾ Only use the device in daylight or under EULJKWDUWL¿FLDOOLJKW ¾ Only use this device for its intended purpose.

Ensure you are standing securely and that you maintain your balance at all times. Pay particular attention, if you are working on a slope. Do not run, rather walk forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure that you can maintain better control of the device if unexpected situations occur. ¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards. Risk of tripping! ¾ Remove the power pack when carrying the device to or from separate working positions. ¾ Never bypass or manipulate safety devices installed on the device. ¾ Do not allow the line head to impact against wall edges. If the line head suddenly receives a heavy blow, be prepared for increased vibra- tion at the handle. If this does occur, the device must be checked and, if necessary, repaired by a

• The carrying belt is set to the correct length.

• The middle handle is adjusted correctly for the body height. - The middle handle is correctly adjusted, if you can hold it with the hand, without having to stretch your arm.

• The device is below waist height.

• The cutting attachment is held parallel to the ground, so that the plants to be cut can be easily accessed without the user having to bend forward. Line readjustment when operating with the line head

The line head has a press knob with which you can release the trimming line without having to stop the motor.

Tips for optimum trimming results when work- ing with the line head Î Hold the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. Î Only cut with the tip of the line, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip reduces the cutting ability and can overload the motor. Î Where grass is longer than 20 cm, cut from the top to the bottom in small steps to prevent prema- ture wear of the line and overloading of the motor. Î If possible, cut from left to right. Cutting to the right improves the cutting ability of the device. Grass cuttings are then thrown away from the user. Î Move the device slowly at the desired height into and out of the cutting area. Move either forwards and backwards or from side to side. Cutting smaller areas achieves better results. Î Only carry out cutting when grass and weeds are dry.

You can obtain a decorative cut, when you are cut- ting all plants around trees, posts, fences, etc. Rotate the entire device, so that you are holding the cutting attachment at an angle of 30° to the ground

Operation using the cutting blade Before you use the device, hold it in the operating position. See “Holding the device”. Tips for operation using the cutting blade: Î Cut with an even cadence. Î Adopt a steady and comfortable posture on the ground. Î Do not use eco mode. The blade then has max- imum cutting force and does not jam so easily, remain stuck, or cause impacts to the blade that could result in serious injuries to the user or other persons. Î Cut by turning the upper part of your body from right to left. Î Turn the device in the same direction in which the blade cuts. This helps cutting. Î Take one or two steps forward to the next area

DIWHUWKHUHWXUQVZLQJDQGWKHQVWDQG¿UPO\DJDLQ

Î Follow the guidelines below to reduce the possi- bility that plants will wind around the blade. - Do not cut in eco mode. - Swing from right to left into the plants to be cut. - Avoid plants that have just been cut, while they are swinging back. Removing the power pack
