Likewise persons must be familiar with this instruction manual before using the device. The minimum age for using the device may be specified by local or national legislation.
For safety reasons, children under 16 years of age or persons who are not familiar with the B usage instructions must not use the trimmer. The minimum age of users may be defined by local or national legislation.
Do not operate the trimmer when there are people (especially children) or animals in the immediate vicinity. Ensure children do not play with the trimmer.
➢ Stop using the device if persons (especially children) or animals are nearby.
Only switch the motor on if your feet and hands are at a safe distance from the cutting element.

Always disconnect the device from the power supply if you are leaving it unattended or removing a blockage.
Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers as well as other appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, ear defenders, safety gloves etc.) when working with the trimmer. The wearing of personal protective equipment minimises the risk of injury. Do not wear loose clothing, etc., which could be caught by the cutting tool.

Before use

Before use, make sure you are familiar with the trimmer, its functions and controls.
➢ Never fit metallic cutting elements.
Do not use any trimmer whose switch is defective and which can no longer be switched on or off. It must be repaired by a qualified expert or workshop.

Safety information

Do not connect to the power supply using a damaged cable. Do not touch any damaged cable before it has been disconnected from the power supply. If cables are damaged it may be possible to touch live parts.
➢ Never use a device with damaged or missing guards or covers. They must be repaired or replaced by a qualified expert or workshop.
Before use, make sure that the lawn is free from branches, stones, wire etc. and look out for such objects the whole time when trimming.
Before making adjustments to the device, cleaning it or checking the power cables, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Before starting the machine and after any impact check the power cable for signs of wear or damage. Have necessary repairs performed by a qualified electrician or workshop.
Prior to each instance of use, check if the device cable with mains plug or the connection cable is damaged, fragile/old or entangled.

Have damaged cables replaced immediately in a workshop prior to further use.

Cable

Only use extension cable with a minimum cross-section of 3 × 1.5 mm^2 and a maximum length of 25 m:

• if using rubber-sheathed flexible cables, then as a minimum of type HO7RN-F
• if using PVC cables, then as a minimum of type HO5 VV-F (cables of this type are not suitable for permanent outdoor use, e.g. for routing underground for connection of a garden socket, connection of a pond pump or storage outdoors)
  Plug and portable socket-outlet must be splash-proof.
  Use a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of no more than 30 mA.

➢ Secure the connection cable to the strain relief. Do not allow to rub on edges, points or sharp objects. Do not squeeze cables between door cracks or window gaps.

Switching devices must not be removed or bypassed (e.g. taping of the safety lever to the handle).

➢ Only use connection cables which are in flawless condition.

Tips for use

Do not use the device in potentially explosive atmospheres containing flammable liquids, gases or dusts. The trimmer may create sparks, which could ignite the dust or vapours.
➢ Never leave the trimmer unattended during breaks and store it in a secure location.
➢ Hold the trimmer parallel to the lawn when switching on, otherwise there is a risk of injury.
Also when working maintain a safe distance relative to the rotating line.
Do not reach into the area of the rotating line.
➢ Take care to avoid injury when using the cutting device for shortening the line length. After pulling out new line, always hold the device in its normal working position before switching it on.
- Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defenders!
➢ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are standing securely and that you maintain your balance at all times. 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.
Take extra care if you are walking backwards. Risk of tripping!
Switch the motor off when carrying the device to or from separate working positions.
Keep connection cables away from cutting tools to prevent damage to cables which could lead to the contacting of active parts.
